A member asked:

I am 17 weeks pregnant and been having issues emptying my bladder. i had to go to the doctor on wednesday for a catheter and since yesterday my bladder doesn't empty properly. no uti. i have an appointment with my ob next week thurs. will i be fine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If not emptying: the bladder, there is a danger of overfilling, harm. If not feeling that bladder is emptying, or if pain gets worse, a catheter is needed. The pressure of the pregnant uterus can block the outflow of the bladder, this should get better over the next few weeks as the uterus grows larger, away from the bladder.
