How many times a day do you

[VillainV]

Um, a lot….too many to count. Probably around 20?

Too many to count. Sometimes I'll pee, stand up, then realize there's more and sit back down again. It's line changing positions eased up on my bladder, allowing more to come out. It's annoying because I feel like I spend an extra long time in the bathroom just to make sure I'm not back in there in two minutes again anyway.

20+ for sure. It's the worst when I'm on my feet or walking around a lot. Baby's head is right on my bladder.

[bananapancakes]

Oh man, way too many to count. Probably about an average of once an hour. Sometimes more.

Constantly! It was one of my first symptoms and it hasn't let up since. That is one of the things I didn't realize about pregnancy - that the hormones make you have to pee more often. I thought it wouldn't get bad until I had a big baby pressing on my bladder.
The best is when you pee and leave the bathroom and then have to pee immediately afterward. Sometimes I think I should just camp out in the bathroom at night.

When I get out of bed
When I get to work
Probably 2-3 times throughout the day
When I get home
When I get home from the gym
At least 1 other time before I go to bed
2 times in the middle of the night

So 10 times? I should have started counting today! I can't even remember so maybe it has been too many times today and it is only 10:30!

Also it sucks because my hands get dry from all the washing

YES. I have to keep lotion everywhere for this reason. My hands are horribly dry!

[simpsongal]

This is one of the few symptoms I haven't had - no more than usual.

Since 33 weeks it's been up to 4 times night. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth going to sleep at all.

Also, the worst is the absolute urgency with needing to go. It really really hurts and there is no way I can hold it in even for a minute.

[pinotgrig]

Lots! More at home than at work, but I attribute that to laziness, lol.

At home probably every hour or 1.5 hours. I get up at least once at nighttime to pee too.

This is the same with me too.  I feel like I sit there for a while just waiting to see if there is more.

Same. Sometimes I go, then as I am washing my hands, I feel the urge to go again. wtf.

It's like having a 9 month long UTI without the painful side effects.

A lot.  And because I've had issues with UTIs for 10+ years, it's still freaking me out because my body has trained me that frequent peeing = UTI is coming, make an appointment.  So far I've been lucky this pg and have not had a UTI, but still paranoid.

I would say 10-15 times. Thankfully I don't have to get up to go during the night, although I always have to go really bad first thing in the morning. The other day I was at Kohls for less than an hour and I had to pee when I walked in and pee again before I left...

[timorousbeastie]

A lot - probably every 1.5-2 hrs on average, and often I feel like I have to go again right after I'm done.

For most of the pregnancy, I only got up once per night to pee (which I *never* do when not pregnant), but since about 35 wks, I wake up every single night at 11:30, 3:00, and 5:30, like clockwork. Very weird. Plus I've started having a contraction after I pee, too.

Ugh lucky. I always have to get up right around 3am or so. Then I struggle to go back to sleep.

I haaaaattteee that.

A lot, for me. Usually the joke is that I have an iron bladder because I never have to pee, but the later I get into my pregnancy the more that changes. I've also never woken up in the night to pee before pregnancy, but now I usually do twice.

This is me exactly. I could go forevvvvver without having to pee before pregnancy but now it's almost every time I stand up I have to pee.
