Is it normal to pee this much at night?

[Rxchel97]

Hi everyone!! First pregnancy here! I was just wondering since I can't find anything on google about it - how many times is too much to pee at night? May be a weird question but the minimum I have to go at night is 5 times, the most.... oh god about 10 or so ...i loose count honestly!! Pre pregnancy I would hardly ever go at night, maybe once or twice but only very rarely! Should I be worried at all? Is this normal for everyone else too? Just for some extra info I do sleep for a very long time! Anywhere from 9-15hrs a night (I'm exhausted okay!!) I appreciate any replies and will reply back to everyone! :)

I have to go every 60 to 90 minutes max at night, it's very annoying. I was a frequent peer before pregnancy though - every 2 to two and a half hours. My bladder is small lol.

Congrats on your pregnancy! Can I ask how far along are you OP? I went loads near the end. I would get back into bed and need it again.. consent cycle! Was tempted to sleep in the bath some nights just so I was closer lol! Have you been tests for Gestational diabetes? This can be one of the signs though. Needing the toilet a lot is common though as baby is basically squishing your bladder. If your worried at all just give your midwife a call. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and birth xx

9-15 hours... I wish I could spend that long in bed but 5 kids so no chance lol
At 1st I was up a few times a night but now it's once max but I go to bed late and up with kids early. Before pregnancy I would rarely be up for the loo.
You want to focus on pelvic floor exercises throughout pregnancy.

@Blue2021 I'm 15 weeks and 3 days :) was pretty excited for the relief of not needing to pee as much in the second trimester but that hasn't been the case so far 😂 I haven't been tested for that no, might be something I ask my midwife about at my next appointment 🤔 thanks for the reply :)

@Chelyanne haha aww that sucks!! 😭 sounds like an extremely busy lifestyle lol

13+5 here and last night it was 3 time; night before an amazing 2. It has been 5 though I don’t tend to be able to sleep as much though!! Good idea to check with the midwife. Mine said it was all normal!!

i pee just as much as you, i was told its coz womb is pressing on the bladder so because we drink a lot of water, the bladder gets filled up really quickly. i have adapted to it but i am soo tired, never get enough sleep, no matter how early i turn in.

Yup, I'm up every hour. It's a pain in the arse.

When not pregnant I usually got 3 times in 24hours..never during the night

I'm currently 14 weeks ..I'm already waking up needing to go to the toilet once and by morning I'm feeling some urgency to go again which to me is crazy.

In the last few weeks of my last pregnancy I went maybe twice during the night.

I didn't think it would be like this so early on

I'm up about three times a night at the moment, baby is breech and making it's presence felt!

Just wait until you get to 30+ weeks! I'm considering setting up camp in the toilet to save me the hassle of trying to roll out of bed every hour.

The first trimester was the worst for me, easily up 5, 6, 7 times a night. No idea where all the fluid was coming from! Due any day now and I think I was only up twice last night.

Yes i had this too!

I am currently around 13wks and the frequent toilet trips in the night has, in the last week, subsided - thank god.

Before pregnancy i would always go atleast once a night but never more than twice. I would say from week 6 it became more frequent and around week 9/10 i was going 5 times night and i sleep for around 7hrs a night so 5 times in 7hrs was a lot and I was exhausted. For the last week though it's only been twice a night and last night just once - hurrah!

Oh god I thought once a night was annoying enough but just read here and clearly I have it easy!

However lately I've noticed when I wake in the morning I'm bursting, to the point where my bladder and surrounding area actually hurts. And the urine is reallllyy concentrated first thing (I know FMU usually is but I'm talking dark orange, even though I'm making sure I drink lots during the day) I'm sure this can't be healthy but clearly I sleep well through the need to go more in the night. Should this be something to worry about...?

I'm 15 weeks BTW.

I’m up all the time needing a wee, so annoying because I get so thirsty in the night too! Feel drained in the day from waking up so many times!

I was the same at the beginning, I think one night I went 8 times! It got much better in the second trimester once baby started moving lots more and now it's only 2 or 3 times a night which is much more bearable. Hopefully it's the same for you
