Frequent urination during pregnancy, is it a boy or a girl?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will experience a variety of symptoms, such as vomiting, amenorrhea, and drowsiness. In addition, women's bodies will also have symptoms of frequent urination. There is a saying that frequent urination can reflect the gender of the fetus. Just after pregnancy, women will definitely be very concerned about the gender of the child. So, is frequent urination during pregnancy a sign of boy or girl? Let’s take a look below.

Frequent urination during pregnancy has nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. It is normal for pregnant women to urinate frequently. We have talked about the reasons for frequent urination in pregnant women before. It is entirely caused by the compression of the bladder by the uterus. The pelvic cavity is only so big. As the uterus continues to expand with pregnancy, it is bound to "occupy" the position of the bladder. If the bladder capacity is smaller, urination will be more frequent, so it is normal for pregnant women to urinate frequently.

However, it should also be noted that urinary tract infections can also cause frequent urination, often accompanied by urgency and pain. Expectant mothers with these conditions must not ignore them and should go to the hospital for treatment to be safe.

What to do if pregnant women have frequent urination

Pregnant women who have frequent urination generally do not need special treatment. They just need to pay attention to their daily life. If you don’t want to get up in the middle of the night to urinate, just don’t drink water within one or two hours before going to bed. However, you must not go without water all day. Maintaining normal and moderate drinking water is good for the body.

If you want to improve frequent urination, you can eat less diuretic foods, such as watermelon, cucumber, mung bean, coffee, kelp, etc. When sleeping or resting, try to avoid lying on your back. Lying on your side can reduce the pressure of the uterus on the ureter. Expectant mothers should never hold urine, as this is very bad for the body. Be careful about urinary tract infections. You can use some sanitary pads appropriately to keep it clean.

Expectant mothers can also do anal contraction exercises regularly, which can strengthen muscle strength and have some control effect on frequent urination.

However, frequent urination may sometimes be caused by urinary system diseases. If frequent urination is accompanied by urgency and pain, it should be taken seriously and you need to go to the hospital to eliminate the risk of disease, because such diseases can affect the fetus if they become serious.
