Wet the bed in early 30s

[fjsidjsifjbcjsi]

I've named changed for this as I'm just so embarrassed and really hoping someone has some words of advice.

Last night I dreamt I was going to the toilet, I've had thousands of dreams like this in my life but last night I actually woke up to find I had actually wet myself. Not just a little but fully. I was absolutely mortified and extremely upset having to tell my husband. He was very kind about it but still it doesn't take away my embarrassment.

Has this happened to anyone else in their early 30s? For what it's worth;

• I had 2 children within 2 years, both natural births and youngest is currently 6 months. My pelvic floor although not what it used to be I think is ok. I've never had any incontinence issues.
• I am struggling with my anxiety at the moment, it's gotten bad enough for me to ask my dr to prescribe medication I had previously stopped using to help control it.
• I don't drink a lot. In fact I probably don't drink enough these days as I never have time. A typical day I would maybe make it through one glass of squash (maybe about 3/4 of a pint in size) and one cup of tea.
• I never drink tea past lunchtime as I know it makes me need to wee a lot more.

I just don't understand why this happened and now I'm terrified to go to sleep tonight in case it happens again. I've dehydrated myself all day in fear which I know is not sensible. I don't know if I'm overreacting but as I said my anxiety is bad and this is making me feel even worse, I have very little confidence as it is and this has just left me in pieces. Please any words of advice I would really appreciate

Bless you. I would maybe mention it to the GP, particularly if you’ve had other changes down there like discharge changes, it could (very very rare though!) be a sign of something.

I have had recurrent issues with bedwetting since I was a child and have had a few conversations about it with friends and a couple have admitted they’ve had a random case of wetting the bed for no clear reason. Usually it is just a one off, however probably worth checking you don’t have a UTI.

It's probably just a one off. It sounds like you need to drink a lot more though - being dehydrated and having concentrated wee can irritate your bladder.
If you're worried about tonight, could you buy some Tena pants / pads for reassurance?

Did this once when I was 35 and then again when I was 61 (mildly)

both times was I dreaming I was on the loo

I’m hoping the next interval with be 25 years+ too

your anxiety could be the reason or your anxiety and bed wetting could be caused by other health issues, see your GP, it could be pre diabetes. Don’t be alarmed though, I had all these symptoms and was diagnosed and have now reversed it.

It’s probably just a once off OP but if your worried touch base with the GP. The same happened to me a few years ago and I had a UTI which went largely undetected as I had no other symptoms. You do need to drink some more, can you carry around a reusable water bottle?

This happened to me a couple of times during a period of extreme anxiety. Actually I slept walked, squatted down next to the bed and did it 😅 it didn't happen more than a couple of times but it was during a period where I was the lowest and most stressed of my life. I was 29. I've spoken to others it has happened to as well - don't be ashamed, just concentrate on sorting out whatever is making you anxious.
One day you will laugh at it! Xxx

You are not alone OP, it's happened to me about a dozen times over the last 40 years. Never bed wetted as a child and then suddenly in my 20s it happened out of the blue . I always dream that I'm on the loo before it happens.
To start with I felt terribly ashamed but have got over that as it's something so completely beyond my control. I have a waterproof cover on the mattress and if I go away, I discreetly slip a small waterproof mat in the bed .
I've no idea why it happens- I don't have any urinary issues; don't drink alcohol or excessive fluid during the evening.

Have had same issues, comes from stress, alcohol and coffee. Do not reduce drinking water that does not help. Order Tena Pants Maxi from internet they hold it all and you be totally dry. It will arrive in plain box and nobody will know. You can wear under pajama pants at home if afraid to show your partner. It probably will go away itself. Not getting sleep and rest makes it worse.

I've had that dream many times and come close! I think it's quite common. My Mum says she has had near missed dreaming about going to the loo as well. I would be surprised if it ever happens again!

This happened to me just the once in my 20s and I was also dreaming about going to the loo! It has never happened again. I was particularly tired and I think I was just in such a deep sleep that the usual signals to wake up to pee just didn't work right.

I wouldn't bother with Tena pants etc unless it happens again.

This has happened to me a handful of times, usually when i have had alot to drink before bed or when i half wake up during the night needing a wee but can’t be bothered going so try ignore it. I then dream i’m on the toilet and end up wetting the bed. I’d just ignore it for now as a one off thing unless things change.
