Sign Of Pregnancy

Frequent trips to the bathroom

Frequent urination is a big complaint amongst pregnant women. Some women dont have problems with this until later in pregnancy, but for many, frequent urination becomes a problem right away. Your blood volume increases dramatically during pregnancy. As your kidneys work hard to process the extra fluids, you may end up using the bathroom more often. In addition, your uterus is growing and expanding which may put extra pressure on your bladder, causing you to have to urinate more frequently.
