I've looked online for advice about this so I am aware of some of the possible problems, causes and so on but just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this.
Ds2 is 5 and a quarter/half. He started school in january - he has occasionally had an accident in his sleep, during this time, but has generally been dry at night for many months. And of course during the day.
This week he has wet the bed every single night. He is still in my bed atm - he has his own bed but just prefers to be next to me, so I am going with it to avoid stress. I am also expecting a baby soon, and cannot physically lift him to his own room (which I was doing) once he is asleep.
Anyway, I don't think there are any major issues going on, obviously he could be regressing because of impending baby, but I don't know of anything else that's changed. School seems alright, he's settled well, likes to go in, never makes a fuss and seems fairly happy most of the time.
He even wet himself at school the other day - unheard of - and said he was afraid to ask to go, in case the teacher made him wait. So possibly it's about this? I have spoken to the teacher and she is fine, knows he will ask when he needs to go and she will let him.
I've resorted to putting a nappy on him the last few nights, in case, - they are a bit small for him, I will get pull ups in his size if I have to. But what could be going on?
I should add, several online articale suggested it's a sign of possible abuse 
but there is literally no way this could be happening, there is no man or other adult in the house, and he's never apart from me unless he's at school.
He's been so good at being dry - what's gone wrong?

Sudden bedwetting in 5yo. Why?

I know it sounds silly but just before he goes to sleep, sit him on the side of the bed and make him say ' I'm in charge of my wee wee' 3 times. my ds2 is 6 and these are the things we are trying and seems to be going well at the moment
I like that idea.
He is generally very proud of being 'in control' of when he goes, not that I have ever made a fuss about it - everything is very matter of fact. He's been dry for so long it just seems strange to suddenly have gone backwards.
Oh thankyou so much. I knew MN would be a better place then Google to find out the proper info
Well good news is he didn't wet the bed - or the nappy - last night and was asleep for nearly 12 hours. I am amazed.
I think the thing we didn't do, was give him squash. He'd been having blackcurrant squash all week, and actually very rarely had that in the past - so I do wonder if this has something in it, that might make him go more.
I had no idea about apple juice so will avoid that too.
If it continues, I'll get him to the GP asap - thankyou for alerting me that this could be a serious risk.
Fingers crossed we might be Ok without the squash - which he was having a couple of glasses of per evening so I am leaning towards thinking it was that.
