How long would it be considered 'safe' to hold urine while pregnant? esp. when i'm away from home. do i increase developing incontinence or harm baby?

Know when to hold'em: "You have to know when to hold it and know when to fold it" When pregnant it is never a good idea to hold your urine for extended periods of time. (more than 2 hours). The full bladder will push against the uterus in the 2nd an d3rd trimesters and urinary tract infections become more common. Bladder emptying is more likely to be incomplete in late pregnancy especially when full with UTI risk.
