Bladder issues 1st trimester

This is my 3rd pregnancy. I had my first child when I was 20 and that pregnancy seemed to be the easiest. I had another baby in 2008 and am pregnant again in 2010. With both pregnancies in 2008 and 2010 I have had alot of bladder issues. With the pregnancy in 2008 I had a UTI and got a round of antibiotics which I thought took the problem away and since I still felt pressure and burning I went back and got on another round of antibiotics only to still have to fight with bladder issues. I then went to a urologist and he didn't find anything wrong either. I was drinking alot of cranberry juice at the time and decided to stop drinking it thinking it made my urine acidic and a few days later all the pain and pressure ended, which was also about the time of my second trimester. I thought I had a UTI for 6 weeks. Well, this time around being pregnant just a couple years later I go into having very similar symtoms, pressure on my bladder, it is hard to go to the bathroom many times. I could contribute it to the pressure on the uterus, which is suppose to rise around week 12. And so the countdown goes on. I am on week 10 and decided in week 9 to start eating foods that are easy to digest and high in fiber which has help tremendously with the pressure. I don't have heavy foods sitting in my systom trying to digest and because pregnancy slows this process down enough already I decided I would fight against it. With the limited space from my growing uterus my bladder just can't take any more pressure. I am expecting things to get even better in a couple weeks when the uterus starts to rise up but for now I am have made a very bad situation, livable. I definately recommend to anyone who has extreme bladder pressure to eat high fiber foods.

I knew as soon as i saw my boobs

Well it all began with my long term boyfriend of two years. I had no morning sickness and no signs at all the first 6 weeks. The only sign i had was a massive increase in apitite. I couldnt stop eating! I must have gone from a size 10 - 14 in about a week. One thing i found was a give away was how large my breasts became, also how tender they were also. I took a test with one of my girlfriends and it came back positive, i couldnt believe it, so i took 4 more. Surprised... they all said the same. So i went to my GP and had to check with her and i was. So now i am currently just under 3 months along, my boyfriend has been so supportive. Both of our families are happy. I couldnt ask for more!

Confused

Im 19 years old and so far I had such a confusing time. I had no period since june and early august I got 2 home preg tests positive, then a negative health dept test, 3 more positive homes, and a positive health dept. I thought I knew I was pregnant until I went to a hospital for pain. They did an ultrasound and she found nothing but a small dot. She said I must be really early and not to worry but ever since then thats all I can think about. I told everyone before the hospital visit and they were all excited, but now after the hospital visit I wonder if im not. I just gotta wait until my first doctors appt and until then, its just gonna be a long long wait.
