34 wks pregnant - advice please

[Mandymoo]

For the last week i have hardly slept for going to the loo 23+ times a night! Its not fun!

Last night i think i managed an hours sleep - i cant spend the next 6 weeks like this.

Is this normal? Sometimes its just a little (sorry if tmi) and im wondering whether ive got an infection.

Should i get it checked out or is this all normal?

YOu do wee A LOT when you get further on. AFter all you've got a baby sitting on your bladder!
But you might want to get it checked out if you are worried. Better to go in and have it be nothing than miss it.

just concerned that its SUCH A LOT!! This is my second pregnancy and it was nowhere like this last time. Seeing midwife next week so might wait until then but just wondered if it sounded like an infection X

I would get it checked out. You don't want it to get out of control if it is an infection at this point. The problem is that you need to drink extra and that's the last thing you want to do!
I got really tokd off for not drinking enough and was told I was exacerbating the problem of going loads by dehydtaring my bladder lining do it got irritated.
Drink lots and send a sample to your GP.
I'm feeling forceful today!

that sounds awful mandymoo

do you go lots in the day too?

I am going about four or five times a night (also 34 weeks) and I would say thats normal. It depends on where the baby is lying. If you are worrying about it then you will wake up more than usual too.

I try and drink plenty in the morning and then not so much in the afternoon/evening.

A simple urine test should detect whether you have an infection or not.

thanks - will take a sample to gp this am. Cant be doing with 23 trips to the loo every night for the next 6 wks!!
