HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
- IT's natural for you to be worried following two miscarriages. But in my view, when you already know that your pregnancy is normal.. you should not be psychologically stressed... taking care is needed, but stress & tension can have adverse effect of pregnancy.
* Actually frequency of urination& frequent urge ( may be taken as tightening .. is normal in early pregnancy, due to pressure of growing fetus presses on the urinary bladder. .. as a result there is no complete empting of bladder & the symptoms.
- Try to pass urine in forward bendsng position with hands resting on knee. This relieves pressure on bladder.. it empties completely & there is no frequent urge& stretching!
* If you are not relieved with this -
Please consult your treating doctor, tell about your tightening before urination. he will advise you-
- Get urine checked for any infection/ HSG/ Progesterone assessment to determine hormonal sufficiency & will prescribe needful medicines .
* Actually you had 2 abortions in past.. routinely such patients are given Progesterone supplements ( as a preventive measure ) till 12-14 weeks are completed.
You can discuss with your doctor about the supplements ( actually you must be already been prescribed ).. . As the hormone supports pregnancy , your tension would be relieved.
Thanks.

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic

In the first three months (12 weeks) of pregnancy little bit of stretching and pain in your loins (pelvic region) is common.

I would advice you to contact your general physician or gynaecologist to rule out any latent Urinary Tract infection.

Please do write back if you any more queries.
