Ahh -- help! For the past week, every evening within an hour of dinner, I start to feel like I have to urinate -- but then can't get rid of the feeling. I'll go to the bathroom, empty out completely, but literally by the time I'm walking out of the bathroom I feel like I need to go again. It's very uncomfortable and very obnoxious.
I would be suspicious of a UTI, but the weird thing is that it ONLY happens at night! I wake up in the morning and feel fine. I feel fine all day. It's only in the evenings that this starts to happen. Usually once I lay down for bed at night the feeling goes away, then doesn't come back until the next evening. I don't have any other UTI symptoms either (no burning, urine doesn't look/smell weird, etc.) and if it was a UTI I figure it wouldn't just appear at night. It also hasn't gotten worse over the course of the past week.
I'm only 14 weeks, so I feel like I should be past that "pregnancy hormones making you need to pee" and not yet at that "baby is so big it's sitting on your bladder" stage -- but I'm going crazy!!
I know someone will suggest calling my OB, but I'm seen in a military medical clinic where it's hard to get messages to an OB (and you don't really get one assigned it seems) and the triage nurses don't really give any info other than to suggest you go in to a walk-in triage clinic (where you wait hours to be seen)....so I'm hoping someone here has advice or thoughts or at least commiserate that it happened to them too because it's driving me nuts!
