Lighthearted. Peeing? How much?

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.

I'm 17 weeks and up at least 3 times in the night. The annoying thing is I will pee before I go to bed and you can guarantee an hour later I will wake up needing to go again...so annoying!! Esp as I get stomach ache if I need to go badly!!

23 weeks, up at most once in the night, probably twice a week or so, maybe pee three times extra per day on average.

I'm not too bad in the night at the moment (22 weeks), usually just getting up once. I do seem to be going all the time during the day though - every couple of hours and have to time tube journeys carefully!

30 weeks, and I hardly seem to go during the day, but every 2 hours at night! Shattered. Understatement.

HeffalumpTheFlump · 05/08/2013 19:31

30 weeks and same as suntodayplease - not going that much in the day, but up all night! My record is 7 times in one night.

purplemurple1 · 05/08/2013 20:11

Up to 35 weeks I wasn't getting up at all during the night (6 to 8hrs), last couple of days I've been up 3 times, but tbh I think its becasue I'm at home and OH has been getting up and that wakes me.

suntodayplease · 05/08/2013 22:34

Not the greatest experiment admittedly with the recent weather but I did try limiting what I drank after 6pm to see if that would help. Not a jot! In fact, I do piddly wees during the day and only feel like I've properly been when I go at night. Every two hours. Yawn. On the upside DH has retreated to spare room some nights so I get the big bed to myself. Apparently I'm disturbing him. Poor lamb.

23+2 and going every couple of hours. It's a right pain. I think it's just the way my wee boy is lying because my urine comes back clear. It's so annoying having to plan my days around toilet stops!

IJustWoreMyTrenchcoat · 06/08/2013 00:08

I've lost count! And as someone mentioned up thread, there's not much a lot of the time but I have a desperate need to go. It's very painful to roll out of bed now too with a week to go and a clicky pubic bone.

It has improved since a couple of weeks back though where I couldn't leave the bathroom. I was on and off the toilet at least four times in a row. There was nothing there but I was in agony. I think I actually gave myself a haemarrhoid when I got sick and tired of just sitting there and tried to force the wee out Blush.

I'm 30 weeks and literally up about 10 times a night (sometimes more, sometimes less).

I don't have a UTI tho! I have always had a weak bladder and baby likes to kick/sleep on my bladder! Unfortunately, it's difficult to sit up in bed myself since I had surgery a couple of months back - I'm starting to worry that it'll take me to long to get up that I just wet myself. I hope to god that doesn't happen!!! Blush
