Bladder issues

This might be TMI but I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I'm having a hard time emptying my bladder all the way, is this normal? Is anyone else struggling with this?

Ope! Been there! I always just sit on the toilet longer and try to make sure I’m completely empty otherwise I’m back in the bathroom again in no time 🤣

Yeah, never had to try to empty like i do now. But I recommend talking to your obgyn and testing for infection. I had a bladder infection that I didn’t even feel and we never would’ve known without the urine test.

Lean forward when peeing and it helps empty

Yes. I always struggle when pregnant. I'm in the bathroom constantly. Ugh. Check for UTI just in case because everyone is different. It's just normal for me.

I have to lean backwards and sit all of the way back on the seat to relieve the pressure for my bladder to empty. Try leaning different directions to see if that helps, or stand up after your first round to relieve the pressure and try again. It sucks because now I have to go more often and normally only squat in public, but my body declined to cooperate with that.
