Frequent Bathroom Trips

LindaEve7

Does anyone have to pee way too often? I have to get up about 5 times every night to use the bathroom.

It's normal. Try not to drink too much close to bed time.

Yea.  It's ridiculous.

I try to stop drinking about an hour before bed, but I still got up 4 times last night and I'm only 15 weeks. I'm guessing third tri I should just sleep in the bathroom. Haha.

Yep, welcome to pregnancy.

5 times a night?! That sounds like a dream!

in all seriousness it's super normal and will only get worse the farther along you get

Definitely normal. I'm 18.5 weeks and get up roughly 4-5 times each night. I try not to turn on many lights when I get up to go to allow for an easier time falling back to sleep

It's normal. Try to limit water intake before bed. 
Still, in my third trimester I was getting up every hour at night, and close to every half hour during the day, even when I tried to get all my daily water in before 6-7 pm.

I got 3-4 times a night. I literally sleep walk to the bathroom and fall back to sleep pretty easily thankfully.  I will be 16 weeks on Wednesday. I look at it as preparing for when baby comes having to get up several times a night. But yeah, it does stink especially when I never had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night before.

I say the mantra "I'm the master of my own bladder" about 20 times a day. It's a lie though. I'm now at the just went pee-oh gotta pee again-pee again-oh I gotta pee again phase. Prior to pregnancy I generally had to get up once or twice a night to pee, but its now constant. Normal but annoying.

I am 16w and I get up 2-3 times a night, and I stop drinking about two hours before bed. It sucks, but in the end, it's temporary!

I had overactive bladder before pregnancy, so it's been a bit rough to manage. However, this post makes me feel better. Average night, I do get up about 4-5 times. Bad times: 9. Amazing times:1-2!
