Frequent Urination in Early Pregnancy: Causes & What's Normal

In early pregnancy, your body produces the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which causes the blood supply to your uterus to increase and your kidneys to work harder.

This can result in more frequent urination.

Factors that can affect urination frequency in early pregnancy include:

- your overall fluid intake

- the amount of caffeine you consume

- any underlying medical conditions

- the stage of your pregnancy

There is no set rule for how often you should urinate during pregnancy, but a general guideline is to urinate every 2-4 hours. If you find yourself having to go more frequently than this, it's important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. You should also talk to your doctor if you're concerned about the frequency of your urination.
