Urinary retension during pregnancy?

Ay, kapit lang! You're definitely not alone, maraming moms na nag-experience ng ganito around 13-14 weeks, kaya don't worry na ikaw lang. The good news is most cases resolve after a few days to maybe 2 weeks, especially once the uterus moves out of the pelvic area and takes pressure off the bladder. Someone in my mum group had a Foley for about 10 days and she's fine now, baby din normal, the catheter itself won't harm baby, kaya breathe. That said, the positioning and size matter (some moms complained about discomfort kung hindi perfect fit), so make sure your doctor checks it regularly and adjusts kung kailangan. Keep an eye din on signs of infection, fever, cloudy urine, cramping, and report agad. It's definitely annoying and uncomfortable, but it's temporary, and your doctors are watching both you and baby closely, so you're in good hands. Hang in there and don't hesitate to reach out to your OB if anything feels off.
