Why does a pregnant woman need to go to the toilet alot?

Answer 1

haha, you must be disecting a fetal pig in Biology class... I'm working on the same questions. none of the answers are in the packet! dang!

So true. I am doing this packet as well. Anyways, the answer is:

A pregnant woman needs to empty her bladder more often as she gets closer to her delivery date because the pressure of the developing fetus prevents the bladder from expanding as large as it usually would, so the bladder's volume and capacity are decreased. As the fetus develops and the pregnant woman gets closer to her delivery date, the fetus grows even larger, so the pregnant woman needs to empty her bladder even more often.
