Core Tip	Acute urinary retention (AUR) during pregnancy can have a negative impact on maternal and fetal health. We propose a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for the management of AUR in the first and second trimester. A retroverted uterus is the most common cause of AUR. Clinical symptoms, physical examination, and imaging should be used for diagnosis of a retroverted gravid uterus and AUR. Treatment may include conservative measures and/or bladder decompression with an indwelling Foley catheter or manual reduction. Subsequently, the uterus should be kept anterior with a normal vesicourethral angle. Occasionally, a soft pessary or antibiotics may be used.
