Just been nosey really. Every thread I see that mentions peeing says things like
going to the loo every 15 mins
getting up 6/7 times in the night

things like this. Please tell me this is an exaggeration?
I'm 36+5 I feel like an odd bod lol. I maybe go 1/2 times more in the day and still sleep all night.

8 times! You must get next to no sleep in between! I don't think I could handle that haha I love my sleep. Know that will change soon but glad to still be enjoying it for now :)

I just feel like I'm not right haha.

I am 38 weeks now and just go once or twice a night.

I did go a lot more 5 or 6 times earlier on but then found out i had a UTI so that explains it!

CryingGivesMeAHeadache · 05/08/2013 09:05

I seem to pee every hour in the night. it's bloody annoying. I'm permanently shattered. Sad

K8eee · 05/08/2013 09:24

I think I'm peeling a couple more times than normal during the day but of a night time 2/3 and I never normally need to wake to peeHmm

Cavort · 05/08/2013 09:45

My peeing only really increased in the last few weeks of pregnancy and even then I was never up more than twice per night, usually just the once and I was drinking gallons!

islingtongirl · 05/08/2013 09:49

37+2 here and up about 3 times each night at the moment - I'm trying to view it as getting "prepared" !

Evi1984 · 05/08/2013 09:57

I'm up about 4 times a night at the moment but I'm drinking more water than ever before!

LouiseD29 · 05/08/2013 10:02

Am usually up once or twice in the night and going every couple of hours in the day. Baby was transverse until about 32 weeks so that might explain why there was less pressure on my bladder than for some women. Since she moved it's definitely more noticeable (am 39+2).

AnythingNotEverything · 05/08/2013 10:07

I'm 30 weeks and up once in the night. Never been a night wee-er before. I'm drinking lots and lots of water but only weeing once or twice more during the day.

The big frustration is that when I go to the loo, it doesn't matter how desperate I felt, I have a really disappointing wee!

Queazy · 05/08/2013 10:56

I'm 37 weeks - up about five times each night - getting about 2-3hrs sleep due to crazy indigestion and back pain. Just started mat leave and I'm like a zombie !! xx

Gerty1002 · 05/08/2013 11:01

36+3 and usually up 5-6 times, though after baby noticeably 'dropped' yesterday I hit my all time record of I'd say 10-12 times. However even pre-pregnancy I'd usually be up once through the night as I have a tiny bladder and get really thirsty at night, particularly in this warm weather.

Boosiehs · 05/08/2013 11:08

37+5, and I'm up about 3 or 4 times in the night. Waking a lot and getting really bad hip pain.

Come on baby!!

Boosiehs · 05/08/2013 11:09

Oh and midwife said I was 3/5 engaged about 2 weeks ago. I have certainly felt he pressure increasing on my pelvis/bladder since!

SupermansBigRedPants · 05/08/2013 11:15

I've always woke to pee at night so it's not a big deal for me except when its a marathon 6/7 times a night! which is luckily rare. I'd say in a 24 hour period maybe 6/7 times.

I have app tomorrow and she said in last one that she would have a really good feel this time see how engaged we were, but then at end said she wouldn't be here as she's on holiday so god knows what's actually going to happen!
He's been head down from around 30 week, scan at 31 confirmed this but last couple of day bumps got really full and hard and stretch marks have exploded across belly :/ and I have a fantastic waddle going :)

I just had to do a 24 hour urine collection thing to check kidneys working OK and embarrassingly produced more in that time than the roughly 3 litre bottle they'd given me for the purpose... Midwife found me turning up with an extra squash bottle hilarious... Only got up twice in the night though.

maja00 · 05/08/2013 12:12

I'm only 11 weeks and can usually make it til 4/5am before I have to get up to pee.

curlywurlyllass · 05/08/2013 12:13

at 11w i spent an entire night on and off the loo. Had a raging UTI tho :(

Since then its been 3-4 times a night 5 last night im only 16w5d and thought it got less in the 2nd trimester, cant imagine how i will cope at the last few weeks lol

Im concidering investing in shares in andrex!!

Hope you all have soft bog rolls, running out and resorting to the emergency smart price roll is never good :)

FraggleRock77 · 05/08/2013 12:44

Up twice a night to pee. Pretty annoying but not as annoying as 8x a night!!! X

Mogz · 05/08/2013 12:53

All the pee all the bloody time, and I'm only 23w!

Kelly1814 · 05/08/2013 13:30

I am up at least 5 times every night. My record is 7.

Even if I drink no water after 6. I have no idea where it is coming from!!!

workingtitle · 05/08/2013 13:43

29 weeks and not getting up to pee in the night at the moment, but am busting when I do get up at 5.30am. Occasionally I suddenly need to go but don't wee much, so guess that's if the baby decides to bash my bladder.

Rollermum · 05/08/2013 13:44

I'm am 35+3 and pre-preg would pee x2 a night generally. Now 5/6 times. I feel so thirsty at night. Is q exhausting.
