To want a medal for this?

[MantisAndCrumpet]

Woke at 5. Really need to pee. DH has had terrible nights sleep recently (been ill with some lurg from the kids) so I don’t want to wake him, and no way I would get to bathroom without waking him.

so I’ve been using mumsnet to distract me until it gets to a point when being woken isn’t too terrible… thinking 630 as a target

aibu to want a medal for this endurance? For context, I have had 2 over 10lb babies and I was very lazy at post partum pelvic floor exercises..

You can do this!!!!!
I salute you!

Wow this is impressive. You are also very considerate. Hang on on there. I have no DH to consider but am desperate for a wee. The only thing stopping me is how bloody cold it feels - too cold to venture out from under the duvet.

I hope you make it to the other side!!

So do you need us to keep you entertained and not mention that you need a wee?

I'd honestly just go, but then again I'm a woman of a certain age.

Would he do that for you?

Me too and I am younger! I just wouldn’t flush until a decent hour.

🎖️ there you go. You're a better person than me, no way I wouldn't have gone😆

Not sure what age is a certain age but I am an age and I'd also just go tbh.

Won’t you his give you cystitis?

I did about 5 wees through the night so yes, get that medal on!

thanks all, wearing my medal having made it to 630 and dh was suitability grateful

....an age where life is too short to hold a pee if you really don't have to....😁

You’re the kind of silent hero who keeps our nation afloat.

Then I am also this age

There you go.

I happily got up at 4 for a wee and woke DH in the process... told him he woke himself up coughing

Woke up at 5 desperate for a wee and crept out of the bedroom, avoided all the creaky floorboards, didn't flush, crept back. DH sat up and said "I was waiting for you to get back, I'm busting..."
Next time, I'm not wasting valuable seconds being considerate.
