I'm carrying my second baby now and the delivery probably is in March '08.
I'm happy about it but the thing that burdens me about my second pregnancy is that that my womb is not at its proper place. People who saw me thought that I'm going to deliver soon because my big stomach is in my lower belly. It is like that from the beginning. The same thing also happened in my first pregnancy but this time it's worsen.
By the way have you ever about the condition I'm having now?
I went to toilet a lot just to pee, about 10 - 15mins. Mostly I tried to avoid drinking because I don't want to visit any toilets a lot.
It's very much uncomfortable, especially when you're going out of the house like when you go to the shopping mall or supermarket because you have to go to toilet often. I don't really like to pee in the public toilet.
I don't know what else to do, while I still have 3 months to go with this condition if nobody can help me.
Even my doctor can't do anything about it?
I can't imagine how it'll be like when I'm carrying my 3rd baby.
I let a traditional massager who understands about pregnant woman's womb massaged my stomach to put it to its proper place.
Any suggestions?

First of all im very sorry to hear you have this problem. I cant imagine going to the bathroom every 10 minutes. Its bad enough for me going once every hour. (im also pregnant, im due in january). I have never even heard of this condition. Have you tried going to a different doctor? Maybe try like a high risk pregnancy doctor. Maybe they would know more about it.

If your uterus is not in the correct place you may want to have the checked by another doctor as there could be something else more serious taking place. You could have a displaced uterus which can be fixed by surgery. If what you have can't be fixed and it bothers you this much during pregnancy, maybe you should not have another baby.

All pregnancies are different, and we carry babies differently. Even one woman, from one pregnancy to the next can have very differnt experiences. If you are concerned, see you doctor. If he or she is not worried that it is a problem for you or your baby, then no worries. You will have to adjust to it for the remainder of your pregnancy. There are suppor straps you can buy that go around your waist and under your belly to help relieve some of the pressure. Talk with your doctor before getting one or doing anything like massage, just to be sure it is safe. Be careful limiting intake of fluids. It is very easy to become dehydrated, so be sure to get enough water. Maybe limit drinking when you are going out so you don't have to use public toilets, but drink more when you are home.
