Pressure and Peeing
Nena, 25 from Chicago, IL asks...
I'm having pressure right above the pubic hair line and it also feels like that I have to go to pee all the time. I'm 4 1/2 weeks along. Is this normal?

Completely. The hormones whirling inside your body for some reason make you have to pee. (The same thing happens towards the end of pregnancy but that's because the weight of the baby is pressing on your bladder). The pressure you're feeling is most likely from all the extra blood and fluids that travel to the uterus to create a cushy, fluid environment for the baby. Also, don't be alarmed to find that sometimes you feel your abdominal muscles stretching and pulling as you get bigger. Your baby is creating space and moving everything around.
