Reassure my crazy please.

I don't feel great. Since yesterday I feel pressure so low, that after I pee I immediately feel like I have to pee again. I KNOW in the rational side of my brain that baby is getting heavier and that is normal.

But my crazy side is feeling out thinking something is wrong.

I have an OB appt tomorrow. I'm just freaking myself out. I should not be allowed to read sad stories/threads about premature labor etc. I'm such a hypochondriac.

It doesn't feel like a UTI. But i def plan on mentioning it. I don't deal well with feeling things inside (ex: I hate feeling my pulse. I know, I'm weird) so all of these is just freaking me out.

I had to pee like all the time and always felt that pressure late in pregnancy. I wouldn't worry to much about it. But talk to your doctor about it.

Yup, baby is moving. I'm sure it's just an awkward position.

Thanks guys. I try to hide my crazy but for some reason right before doc appts ( so 4 weeks since I've been reassured), my mind starts to wander.

STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE.

And that pressure is totally normal. I promise. I remember days where it felt like I had to pee all the time and only droplets would come out and it was the worst.

Maybe this is the most common advice ever, but I lean forward a bit when I pee. It might help you feel like you're emptying everything, and I go less frequently. I'm sure everything is fine, hope your appt tomorrow goes well.

I'm sure you're fine. Let us know how your Dr. appointment is!

I've heard that this is very normal. You might want to get checked for uti just in case.

I feel like that all the time, and started feeling that way around 23 weeks. I was worried too at first, but it's just the position of the baby. It's squishing your bladder!
Hope you feel better soon!!

Your baby is probably tap dancing on your bladder - I know mine is. Drives me nuts. But ditto pp who said it might be a UTI, I had one a bit ago and it didn't FEEL like a UTI, but it was. I'd mention it to your doctor.
