Peeing 8 times a night!

I'm only 11 weeks but this is already driving me around the bend! I don't know what to do! I didn't have this until the last trimester in my first pregnancy but this time it's started from the get go! Anyone think it will improve in the second trimester when baby starts moving? And anyone else this bad? I'm going mad here!

Hi op.
8 times is a lot!
With me, I try and get all my fluids in by 6pm, then try not to have too much, if anything after that. Maybe a small cup of tea around 8pm.
I also swear by this trick:
The last wee of the night before bed- wee, brush teeth, then wee again. Not much comes out when you try again after brushing teeth - but I swear it helps. If I don’t do this, I am up twice, about 3am and 5am. If I do, I can stretch til 5-7am.
Strange I know, but it seems to work for me!

Do you think if the room is colder you need to go more? Might try the heating on tonight, clutching at straws! Thing is I have to sip water through the night due to the awful taste in my mouth so I guess I can't win ConfusedSmile

8 times is pretty excessive...I’m going somewhere around 4-5 times at the moment but I’m 38 weeks and baby is literally on my bladder. At the start you tend to go frequently as well but 8 does seem a lot, if I were you I would get checked for a UTI just in case as sometimes there’s not really any symptoms I had 2 in early pregnancy and had to have antibiotics but I didn’t actually realise until urine was tested as I had no symptoms

8 times is a lot so maybe worth checking with GP. That said I was up about 4 times per night in 1st trimester and had the awful mouth taste too but I'm now comfortably in 2nd trimester and feeling great. Hope it settles for you soon

@AFP10 I hope it will ease up soon like it did for you, will get checked for uti I think.
