Peeing during the night question....

KCameron21 · December 2010

Ok

ay, so is anyone not getting up to go to the bathroom during the night? I don't at all, and most of the time I don't have to pee when I get up in the morning. Before pregnancy I would be about to bust in the morning. I probably should just be drinking more water. Any thoughts?

I haven't really had to and if I do, it's usually because I wake up first and then think, "hmm, I should pee" and not the other way around. But, I do always have to pee first thing when I wake up in the morning though.

How much water are you drinking a day? Looking at the color of your pee should be an indication, too.

I am sooo jealous! I wish I had your problem lol. On a "good night" I get up once or twice, on a "bad night" it can be anywhere from 3-4 times. Ughh. It's awful. I've noticed that certain things I drink before bed can affect how often I go to the bathroom. (ex. hot tea is a HUGE "no-no" b/c I'll get up so many times to pee). I'm sure you're fine and wouldn't worry. I got up once a night to pee before being pregnant too.

At the beginning of the pregnancy I was having to get up and go during the night, but I haven't had to do that since the beginning of 2nd tri.

When I wake up, first thing I do is go pee, but it's not a rushing to the bathroom type moment or anything.

That sounds dreamy to me!!!

But, for me, I tend to do A LOT of my water in the evening, so that is probably why I continue to be up 2-3 times a night.

I'm surprised you don't have to go when you do get up though! How much water are you drinking each day?

Count your blessings! I get up every night, usually only once but sometimes twice so I can pee. I also consider myself to be carrying this baby pretty low so I think something always is putting pressure on my bladder. I try to stop drinking before bed so I don't have to pee so much but it doesn't stop me from getting up. To be on the safe side, make sure your drinking plenty of water.

I wake up some nights but not every night. I do have to pee when I first get up though. The baby wakes up usually the same time I do, or a few minutes before my alarm is set so the kicking on the bladder usually makes it a dash to the bathroom. Like PP said, check the color of your urine though.

I don't drink as much before bed as I do the rest of the day and I can usually make it through the night with only one trip to the bathroom, sometimes none at all. I'm a heavy sleeper though.

This!!! I tend to get up more on nights that I have less time to sleep - lately 6 hrs is a lot, because of the holiday schedule at my work!! So getting up 4 times in 6 hrs makes for a very grumpy mommy-to-be!!!!

I drink the vast majority of my water after 4 pm and so that keeps me getting up in the middle of the night. We also have a very dry house and so when I do wake up my mouth is really dry so I drink a little more water each time. If you drink most of your water earlier in the day you probably won't have to get up to pee as much.

As pp said, pay attention to the color of your pee. If you are peeing yellow or dark yellow, you need to up your water intake. If you are peeing clear, I wouldn't worry too much about not peeing in the middle of the night.

I have to pee every night before I go to bed, once or twice in the middle of the night and then again when I first wake up.

I have done so, but figured out it was because I was drinking too close to bed time, so I adjusted my schedule. I don't sleep as well if I wake up in the middle of the night. I typically drink 80-100 ounces of water per day, plus other beverages.

Haha, I totally base my nights on good or bad depending on the quantity of restroom visits!
