About this symptom
Frequent Urination
A very common early sign of pregnancy is more frequent trips to the washroom. During pregnancy the amount of blood and fluids increases, this leads to additional fluids being processed by your body, passing through your kidneys and then to your bladder. Also as pregnancy progresses, the increased size of the uterus begins to put pressure on your bladder. This symptoms will likely continue throughout your entire pregnancy.
