Is it burning at all when you pee? If so, it could be a bladder infection. It's a little early in pregnancy to be having a huge urgency to pee a lot, but some women seem to have that problem through the entire pregnancy not just through the first and last trimester.

no it just makes me feel like a have to pee really bad but sometimes it just makes me feel that way cause of the pressure ive been asking alot of other people to and they keep telling me its either the baby pushing down on me or its my uterus exspanding to make room for her but im still not to sure

sounds very similar to what I just experienced from about 24 weeks to 30 weeks. I had two back-to-back Urinary Tract Infections. The only symptoms I had were low back pain and a very frequent, sometimes cramping, urge to pee. I suggest calling your doc and asking for a urine test to rule it out. If you ignore it, it can easily turn in to a bladder and/or kidney infection!
