Maybe you have a bladder infection. Because I think (not sure) that its common for pregnant women to get them, and when I had one. I couldnt move either, it hurt soo bad! Good luck, id call the Dr.

I wouldnt worry too much about it. I always feel like im carrying low too. Its normal. As far as pain goes I would ask ur doc. When do u go next? I go on monday and im so anxious because I wanna know whats going on with my baby! It feels like its been forever since I seen her but it was only a month ago. Im 27 weeks 2morrow!! Yay!! Lol I want him out! The humidity has been horrible here and we havent had the air on yet so ive had some sleepless nights. Anyhow good luck hun. And again dont stress anything. ~ erica.

No, they have to test ur urine specifically for that, so when u go to pee in ur cup ask them too, or else, they will just check for protein like they do routinely...As far as the pain...I get that...My Dr. Said its normal..In my case her head is pushing on the pelvic floor?!(dont really know what that is) and it gives me sharp almost electric feelings ... Weird huh? U will start to feel alot of odd things!!!!!!!!

I get sharp pains too, I was reading that it was normal to get them, I get them like on my side, in between my uterus and hips and its supposed to be the muscles stretching to the point where it gets painful. Mine only last a couple seconds at a time, but it hurts alot! But the thing with the pain after you pee kinda sounds like a uti... Just tell your doc you think you might have a uti cuz if you have one and it goes unnoticed your bladder can get inflamed and cause contractions, and it can travel to your kidneys (i think) and cause an even worse infection.

I always get sharp pains in my abdomen. I've talked to my doc about them, and we did a tv ultrasound but there were no problems, so she said unless they were accompanied by cramping or bleeding, i'm just fine.

I'm carrying low, but I don't really get any pains, just alot of pressure. In fact so much pressure that I get swollen down there. But yeah your doctore will know when they get a urine sample from you. Good luck.
