Q&A: Why am I urinatingso much

by Anne Sommers, LM
2 Comments

Q I am 16 weeks pregnant and I am having some problems in my pregnancy. When ever I sneeze really hard a little bit of urine comes out. Is this a problem? Also I always have to use the bathroom.

I think that it can be a bladder infection, but my doctor already treated me for it. Is he missing something? Then I took a pap test when I was 9 weeks pregnant and my test came back abnormal. What does this mean? My doctor told me that it is not cancer and nothing to worry about. Is he right or should there be some concern?

A Get a second opinion if you have doubts on the results of your pap. Paps have a high errror rate. It should be done again and sent to another lab. Also you may have an infection which will through off the results of the pap. Has your doctor cultured and/or treated you for a vaginal infection?

As far as urine leaking when you sneeze, this is not uncommon during pregnancy. This is because of pressure on your bladder from the baby and the fact that the muscles get lax during pregnancy.
