Struggling to wee 😣

The past few weeks I’ve been really struggling to wee when in need one. It doesn’t feel like a UTI, it almost feels like the baby is blocking my tubes or something, like there’s a plug stopping my wee from coming out & it is SO painful. Sometimes I can be sat on the toilet for a good 5 minutes before anything comes out. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else, is it normal? My first was breach so never had this before

How far along are you? The bigger baby gets the less room there is down there so can make it a lot harder to go😭 I’m 36 weeks now and I’ve got the exact same symptoms, what helps me is I have a little wiggle to try and relieve the pressure on my bladder and sometimes that helps 🥰

@Maisie yeah I’m 37 now, thought it might be something everyone’s going through with how big the babies are now. Just so bloody painful! X

We’ll get there, not long now mama!! X

I have exactly the same! Basically I found either leaning forward on the loo lets the wee out 😂 or if it is still being troublesome try basically standing, I figured this by accident but basically exactly as you described think baby can be blocking flow so the standing basically relived it for me. I mentioned it to my midwife Who was like ah yeah that can help! Xxx

I’m the same! I found that opening my legs wide, leaning forwards and lifting my bump up slightly helps me wee. If not, I feel like I’m only able to empty half my bladder at a time x
