Bed wetting first time in years

Has anyone else experienced this? 7 year old wet the bed last night for first time since she was a toddler. No constipation issues.

We are currently looking into school SEN assessment and also counselling as she has trouble listening to /hearing instructions and also counselling as she is sometimes unhappy (says negative things about herself) since the birth of her sibling but this is a new one.

Should I treat as a one off and take to the GP only if it happens again?

I would say so.
Did she have an unusually big drink before bed ?
Did she forget to wee before bed ?
Does she have any symptoms of a UTI ?
Is there anything troubling her, such as an upset at school or home ?

Sorry , just re-read your post and can see that there is something troubling her.

It wouldn’t harm to make contact with your school nurse and push for that assessment.

It's likely to be an emotional issue rather than a physical one. Push as hard as you can for the assessment.

Yes she is definitely upset at the moment. I think new sibling plus time out of school plus being at the age where social anxiety seems to be starting with regard to friendships is all causing a bit of a maelstrom of emotions which we are seeing. She didn't go to the loo before bed, have made sure she did tonight. But I feel like she probably hasn't gone for a wee right before bed quite a few times and this has never happened.

As in she would wake up and go for a wee in the night if she needed it, not just sleep through the whole event.
