I wet the bed last night

[SatansReject]

I’m not the wee troll and not looking for personal stories of people wetting themselves.

So, rarely I have “the toilet dream” maybe twice a year if that (dream you’re on bog and wet the bed). Last night no such dream, for the first time in my life I literally just wet the bed. Woke up in the middle of the night all wet and realised what I’d done.

I’m worried! What can cause this? I’m 38

From what the OP is saying, this is the first time this has ever happened to her.

(Previously, it has only been part of the dream that she wet the bed.)

Because you have a combination of things going on, I would book a GP appointment to be on the safe side, and talk about this along with eyes, hearing and weight.

Another one saying in view of your other symptoms it's a good idea to get tested for diabetes (happened to a friend of mine)

Go to GP. Could be Diabetes.

The toilet dream, common to many of us, where you are racing around trying to find a toilet but when you eventually find one, it's dirty/broken/in full view of a bus queue etc etc, is your mind's way of waking you up because you need the loo. The majority of people do wake up, very, very few people experience incontinence because of it.

You might be low in magnesium.

I’ve had it a few times (only slightly) as an adult and it was due to extreme stress and/or upping my dose of Mirtazapine. I think both of those things bollocks up magnesium levels.

The op is not saying this is the first time, she has said she wets the bed a couple of times a year, normally associated with a dream, so she's not waking up to go.

Op, I'm fifty, Ive never wet the bed, and I know my female friends would tell me if they had, and they haven't. (They tell me the most intimate things) so I think that everyone saying this is worth s trip to the gp is right, it's worth checking out.

Anyone else never had the "toilet dream"?

I would have thought that twice a year is a lot with no known reason.

Hope that you get to the GP & get some answers.

I have had this happen 3 times in 30 years , so not a one off, but equally I would not be going to the G.P. about it.

A friend's son did this before diabetes was diagnosed. Prior to that he hadn't wet the bed in years as he was about 11

I agree approx twice a year is not the usual. I think if you are after medical advice, go to your GP, not Mumsnet. I really would do this.

Having said that, do you share a bed with anyone who sees you sleep? I don't want to worry you as I suppose this is vanishingly unlikely, but would there be any chance you could be experiencing minor seizures in your sleep? I have epilepsy and sometimes this is the only sign I have had a seizure if it's been very minor.

You will get a lot of suggestions on this thread no doubt and they will probably all be wrong so seek proper medical advice.

Not at all usual imo. I’d go to the go.

This happened to me when I was in very early pregnancy. My dreams were full on vivid and realistic, so realistic that I thought I was on the loo.

Nerve damage?
