4 year old suddenly wetting herself

She’s 4.5 and has been toilet trained since just after she turned 2, so a long time. She’s just started school and she’s had 2 weeks accidents at school in the last 4 weeks since starting and she’s also had a couple at home and 3 in the middle of the night when she’s got up to go to the bathroom.

weirdly she never ever gets up to go for a wee in the night so the night time ones seem even more odd

Please reassure me, or brainstorm with me, what is happening here? I am worried. She has seemed to really settle into school and seems to enjoy it, she has been tired but we have kept all weekends super low key so she gets some down time.

I feel upset for her that she’s having these accidents, does it mean she’s actually stressed?

take to gp in case they have a uti.
Stop all squash as it’s a diuretic, it could be she isn’t use to asking for the toilet at school as most preschools and nurseries they just take themselves to the toilet.

She doesn’t drink squash, only water or milk or occasionally an innocent smoothie/apple juice.

She actually wet the bed last night.

Do you think I should not send her to school in the morning and just sort out going to the doctor instead? I feel quite worried

Diabetes isn't always hereditary, I would prioritise a GP appointment over school tomorrow.

Ok I will ring them when they open at 8am

She didn’t have a UTI, so I think it might be more psychological
