What Causes Urge To Urinate And Back Pain During Pregnancy?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and ALWAYS feel like I need to urinate. When I go to the restroom, not much comes out. This accompanied by my constant back pain, which I've have for about a week and a half, and the contant pressure I have against my pubic bone, is causing me concern.

Should I be worried?

Hi,

The last few weeks of pregnancy are rather difficult for most women, as the weight of the growing baby on the bladder can cause frequent trips to the wash room.This is absolutely normal though troublesome.
The growing uterus and baby also put weight and stretch on the back muscles which are pulled and can cause ache and pain. All these symptoms will subside after delivery .
As a precaution just get a urine routine microscopy done to rule out any infection.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
