Is anyone else peeing non-stop? I do drink a lot of water but I have to pee multiple times during the day...I'm a school teacher and I'm wondering if my students are on to me....when should I come clean?
YES! It's especially bad right before bed where I'm sometimes up 8 times in an hour...just as soon as I get snuggly and comfy .... really? Again?
I would say if you can hold off to tell the kids until the day before winter break that would be best. Once you say something they will be excited and hard to regroup. If not, just go with it--you're in 2nd tri now!
What grade do you teach? I started the year as a high school English teacher and am now the test-prep coach. Shortly after I announced to my family (early) the whole school knew. It's a small area. At first, I was nervous... but it's made a HUGE difference for me. The high school boys are surprisingly over courteous now, offering to carry things and reminding me to sit down. One boy is about to become an uncle, so he spread the word to his friends that pregnant women sometimes need extra compliments... I found out after an unbelievable amount of boys and girls told me how great I looked, how my "bump" was cute but I looked like I lost weight elsewhere, how my hair was so shiny, etc.
The other benefit? When I have to pee (which is frequent!) the rest of the faculty insists I go first (we have ONE faculty bathroom!) and the students are extra well behaved when I leave the room.
If you're working with high school kids, it might not be so bad to share the news.
Yes! I just noticed this week that I have been getting up more at night to pee! It definitely disrupts my sleep and I wake up tired, this is only the beginning

Thanks everyone!! Glad to hear I'm not the only peeing machine
I teach high school and I have been wanting to tell them. I have a great group of students and they are very respectful. I think they would be very excited for me if they knew I was expecting. I can't wait to tell them but I wanted to wait until I had a bump! I think I might tell them today cause my peeing has been out of control. They defiantly notice when I leave the room twice in one class period. I think it's time to blow my cover. Thanks for all the advice!!!
Re: I need to pee....AGAIN!!!
On the peeing, I pee like 10 times a day and thats not including night trips.
I drink a lot of water too, but it's good for us, so keep it up!
