Weak bladder

Infections

You're more susceptible to urine infections such as cystitis as the pregnancy hormone progesterone means your bladder doesn't empty as well, leaving bacteria to multiply.

What you can do: Ask your GP for a urine test if you feel a burning sensation or find it hard to wee. Water and cranberry juice can help. In bad cases, you may need antibiotics.
