Explanation

Frequent urination is a common symptom that many pregnant women experience. According to the medical literature, changes in urinary symptoms can occur at different stages of pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy

  • Hormonal Changes: Early in pregnancy, hormonal changes can lead to increased blood flow to the kidneys, causing more frequent urination.

Later Stages

  • Physical Pressure: As the pregnancy progresses, the growing uterus puts pressure on the bladder, which can also lead to needing to urinate more often.

Understanding these changes can help expectant mothers manage this common symptom throughout their pregnancy.
