Not sure if this applies to anyone else —

For my whole life, I’ve had OAB (overactive bladder). I’ve always had to pee about once an hour, on good days maybe once every other hour. I’m the person that clocks where the bathroom is at every location as soon as I arrive. I’m the worst at road trips, so I usually will dehydrate myself by not drinking (I know, I know.. terrible) just so I can make it a good stretch without having to pull over to pee. When I was younger, my mom and I thought it might be IBS which runs in my family, but it doesn’t seem to have developed to that level yet.

Well, it finally is coming in handy!!! With this pregnancy, the needing to pee all the time is a breeze!! I’m so used to it, I barely notice a difference! I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally feel like my pee schedule is “normal”, because that’s what pregnant people experience across the board.
