Pregnant women holding urine does not have much effect on the baby, but it has a great effect on the pregnant woman herself.
Usually pregnant women holding urine are prone to urinary tract infections because urine exists in the bladder for a long time and can’t be emptied in time, there will be some deposits, leading to inflammation of the bladder wall. When a pregnant woman holds urine, the bladder enlarges and the bladder wall is stretched, which can lead to congestion and abdominal pain in the patient’s bladder wall.
Therefore, pregnant women who have the urge to urinate during pregnancy should go to the bathroom to empty it. Avoid holding urine for a long time, which can cause urinary tract infection. If pregnant women often hold their urine, it will easily lead to postpartum urinary retention.
Pregnant women are advised not to hold urine and should urinate promptly if the urge to urinate arises. If there is any discomfort, they should seek prompt medical attention.
