I peed in my dream and I peed in real life...

Ok, TMI, embarassed, whatever, but you ladies will understand.  I have been having bad bad bad heartburn.  I even started throwing up in my sleep a few times.

Last night I was having a dream that Ariana was here.  I don't remember what she looked liked.  We were out with my family and everyone was oohing over her.  I said, I have to use the restroom.  I was in the bathroom in my dream, peeing.  I then woke up realizing I was actually peeing!  SOOOO GROSS!

Anyone else do this?  I haven't peed the bed since when I was a baby or a kid.  It is kind of funny, but also ridiculous to me.  I am laughing about it, but I wasn't when I was changing sheets at 3 am.  Poor DH.

Hasn't happened to me...yet. It may only be a matter of time. Find the humor in it because sometimes that is all you can do.

Anytime I have a dream about needing to pee, it's usually linked to needing to pee IRL.  Fortunately I've woken up in time so far, but there have been a couple of close calls where I wake up and instantly have to squeeze my muscles off to keep it from coming out.  I'm dreading the day I don't wake up in time.....

I remember this happening to me when I was about 10 years old.  I was mortified but found it hilarious after because 1. Well, no one was there to witness it, 2. In my dream, I knew something was wrong...I remember to toilet seat being really unstable.  HA! 

There is waaaay more of a reason for this to happen now, no worries!!  For me, LO is sitting right on my bladder as I am carrying fairly low.  I lost control of my bladder a few weeks ago When I have to go now, I've already gone a little LOL!

Sadly, this has happened to me a few times even before I was pg.  I have a fear/aversion to bathrooms in general, so peeing dreams are always full of anxiety for me. Usually I dream that I'm trying to find a clean enough bathroom and then I find one and am so relieved.

A friend of mine who is a therapist actually helped me out with this problem - she told me to visualize and say to myself as I was falling asleep that those are just dreams, and when they happen, to tell myself to wake up.  And it worked!  I have not had a dream like that since the beginning of my first pregnancy, and certainly not any recently since I've been getting up to pee in the middle of the night.  Seriously, a huge relief because that is NOT something you want to worry about.

Thanks for the responses.  For so many months everyone asked me how I was feeling, etc.  I have felt great (barring being tired at times).  Now my back aches, I pee constantly, I am starving all the time, I have terrible heartburn and I am out of breath.  However, when people ask me I still say I am doing great.  I guess considering (GD, Pre e, swelling, etc) I am doing great...but when you pee in your sleep and your back aches you feel like crap!

My need to pee dreams always have me in a situation where I need to go but for some reason the toilet is unusable. I guess I'm lucky in that sense! I also usually realize im dreaming, but when I have these dreams my need is extreme. And when I get to my toilet I always shake myself to make sure I'm awake before I go on my own toilet!

Same here, I always tell everyone I feel great even though physically I'm a wreck. I guess the excitement of the baby makes me feel better, or I know people won't understand when I tell them all of the awful things our bodies are going through right now without hearing "but its all worth it in the end" well no *** but it still sucks.

When I was in my early twenties, I was living with my bf at the time.  I actually dreampt that I was pregnant and my water broke and I peed the bed.  We had no laundry room... We both worked at summer stock theatre at the time, so I had to drag my dirty bedsheets to the theatre praying that I wouldn't run into anyone!  My ex found it hilarious!

This hasn't happened to me. But the throwing up in my sleep has. It is bad reflux. I told my dr about it..she.gave me prescription pepcid to take in the morning and night. She also said with pepcid, take it with food before.the indigestion..I still watch my soda and chocolate intake, because they aggravate it. I feel 100000 x better since the pepcid. Throwing up in your sleep is scary. Choking coughing,.ugh.
