Ridiculously embarrassing..couldnt even tell my best friend...

[Polkadotfanatic]

I am 32 in a couple of weeks. Last night for the first time since I was two, I wet the bed. It was really weird. And embarrassing, even though it's only me who knows I did it.

I can remember my dream and it was nothing to do with toilets or needing a wee or water (it was a dream friend announced pregnancy on FB). I woke up and thought, oh there is water on my leg (I sleep on my front) and then, I realised I was actually weeing. I stopped immediately but there was already a puddle.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I am terrified of it happening again tonight. I have put a towel under me. I am mortified by this. I am single, have been for a long time, so havent been having sex recently. The only thing that has changed is that I have been told I have to have a laparoscopy with a view to having a hysterectomy (there is a large possibility that I cant have children due to an underlying medical condition). I have kind of ignored it and dont think I am that stressed about it, but thats the only thing I can think?

Should I see a doctor?

It sounds as though its linked to your dream... The release in your mind made the release in your body if you see what I mean...I wouldn't worry too much about it... Am sure it's a one off. . And probably as you say, linked to an unconscious anxiety. Do tell the doctor though if it makes you feel more reassured and in control. Hope the laparoscopy goes ok.

This happened to my sister when she was about the same age - she was absolutley mortified. No explanation for it either but just wanted to say it hasn't happened since and that was about five years ago.
