Yeah the hormone changes can make you feel the need to pee more frequently (progesterone I think?). I needed to pee constantly for the first 8 weeks, then it calmed down a bit. Until the fetuses got big enough to put physical pressure on my bladder.

Some women experience this within their regular menstrual cycle too. I often get what call perma-pee around my ovulation - it's where you basically constantly feel like you need to pee, despite having just gone.

Oh god I get that a lot too, my doctor told me that stimulants (like the ones I take for my ADHD) can often cause “bladder spasms” which can make it feel like you have to pee when you don’t actually have to pee.

I pee more when I take my adhd meds because they make me feel warmer and I actually remember to drink water
