Urinary frequency in pregnancy

Pregnancy urinary frequency

Pregnancy urinary frequency increases and is normal in pregnancy as the uterus presses on the bladder while it grows. Frequency only increases and not pain. If there is pain you should consult your doctor because it might be a urinary tract infection.
