Overactive Bladder and Pregnancy
During pregnancy, most women may experience overactive bladder or urinary incontinence. This can be mild or infrequent, while for others, it can be severe that can eventually affect their daily routine. This type of incontinence experienced during pregnancy is known as stress incontinence. It is the loss of urine due to increased pressure on the bladder, which makes the bladder sphincter unable to function properly when it comes to holding urine. Pregnancy hormones can also cause the pelvic muscles to relax for the anticipated delivery, which in turn affects the ability to control urine. These hormones also speeds up bloods’ filtration into the kidneys, resulting in accumulation of more fluid in the bladder.
A weak bladder can lead to more frequent urination. Approximately 50% of first-time mothers develop bladder weakness and almost 80% for the second-time mom’s. Overactive bladder can also lead to urinary tract infection or UTI and pregnant women are more prone, especially during 6 to 24 weeks. The uterus which houses the baby is directly on top of the bladder and when this is compressed it can interfere with the elimination. If the urine builds up in the urinary tract and bladder, bacteria can also accumulate causing infection.
