I'm not pregnant, but I had that problem after I got all of my wisdom teeth taken out. I have a small bladder in the best of times, and it was really weird (and uncomfortable) not being able to go. I think it my case it had something to do with the meds they used to knock me out. Have you tried doing some kegels?
I had that feeling for a short while during my pregnancy. Sometimes the leaning over thing worked and sometimes it didn't.
Sorry it's not much help but it lasted a little while during the 2nd trimester. Then the most of the 3rd trimester was like that also. Sometimes I would just sit there and read...I felt like such a guy!
@Derbybride:Sounds like I have a lot to look forward to! :) Thanks, both of you!
at least it is better than the "I didn't know I was about to pee" phase of pregnancy? lol
edited to say... (sorry, I didn't read your UTI caveat!)
I had that same feeling for a while! Then it switched to feeling like I really had to pee and being able to, but it was uncomfortable at first and then would be normal. I have no idea what makes it happen, seems peeing is never just the norm while pregnant!
What's the leaning over technique??
I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have that feeling. I think it just goes with pregnancy. I can sometimes go more than others, but before I was pregnant, when I felt like I really had to go, I really had to (and did) pee a lot! At the risk of TMI, my flow is much slower and sometimes it's really just a trickle. I'll take this over the post-partum pee your pants because you coughed/sneezed/laughed/moved.
@sessaj: The leaning over technique is when you kind of lean your torso over your legs while you're peeing to make sure your bladder is as empty as it can get.
@BabyBee1104: I read that in my WTEWYE book as well! I'm having an ultrasound monday (I hope!) or the 14th so maybe I'll be able to find out then if that's the case.
I have kinda been having this. I think it might just be from everything shifting inside. I think I feel like I have a completely full bladder, but really, because of the pressure, its probably only half full so I pee less then I expect.
What are you primarily drinking? Make sure you aren't drinking soda and stuff but maybe try a really large glass of tea and seeng if that helps flush you out.
@SecretName I can't get enough juice! Primarily lemonade, fruit punch, grape juice. But these are all the crystal light packs which you mix into your water bottle. I'm afraid to drink tea because my endocrinologist told me that was the worst thing to do!
I have the same issue, and my doctor said it's just one of the many joys of pregnancy. Baby likes to lay low on my bladder, so that doesn't help. I'm very much looking forward to having a nice long pee after giving bith. Ha.
@firsttimemom: How far along are you? I felt like this around the end of my second trimester.
I was reading in "What the expect when you're expecting" that this can be due to a tilted uterus. It can be pressing on your urethra.
I found out at my first appointment that I have a tilted uterus...and they said it's common
@firsttimemom: I would maybe ask if those crystal light packets may have something to do with it. They are really just full of artificial flavors and sugars (or fake sugars). If you really are worried about it, I would try to drink plain water and 100% fruit juice for a few days and see how that helps.

This has become the norm for me. I rush to the bathroom to pee and then... trickle trickle... barely anything comes out. I've tried the leaning over technique, applying pressure, etc. and nothing is working. I've just lived with feeling like I have to pee CONSTANTLY. Before anyone says it's a UTI I've had them before, this is different.
Anyone experience the same thing?
