Anyone not having to get up to pee at night?

Just wondering - I sometimes have to get up around 5:00, which is earlier than my alarm goes off - but most nights I make it through without waking up to pee. I keep seeing the frequent urination is a major symptom - so it kind of freaks me out a bit. I am hoping that I am not alone on this?

Re: Anyone not having to get up to pee at night?

  • Me neither.  I actually just googled this last night myself.  I drink tons and tons of water and my pee is still relatively infrequent (for the amount I'm drinking) and relatively concentrated too.  So I assume my body is just using all the hydration I'm giving it . . .

  • At first I was waking up between 3 and 4 every night, now I am not.  Frequent urination often doesn't kick in until later.  Fatigue is a common symptom, so you may be sleeping harder and less likely to wake up due to exhaustion.

  • I'm right there with you but it doesn't seem like anything to freak out about.  We all differ slightly in what "feels" like a full bladder.  The frequent urination will come at some point.

  • Definitely not me.  I'm up 2-3x per night, but I'm pretty sure I have the world's smallest bladder because even when not PG I'm up at least once, sometimes twice, to pee.  I also drink a lot of water so I guess it has to come out sometime :)

    I wouldn't worry about it though.  Our bodies all react differently to pregnancy.

  • Not me. And when I was PG with DS I rarely had to get up to pee, even in the very very late part of the pregnancy.

  • I pee all the time during the day, but so far, I haven't had to get up in the middle of the night.

  • I get up to pee at least once a night if I am pregnant or not.

     I think just actively drinking more water was causing it for me. Now my body is more used to it.

  • With my first I noticed having to go to the bathroom a lot more. With this one, not so much. Everybody - and every pregnancy - is different.

  • I actually hadn't needed to wake up until the past two nights. Even then I only wake up because I had a nightmare and something was hurting me in my dream, so I wake up to find it's my bladder hurting. But it's only once a night - and randomly.

    I wouldn't freak out - your body is probably just extremely tired or using the water you're drinking. Plus symptoms swap out and come and go - I remind myself to be happy for a full nights sleep - because soon, it won't be happening.

    Same here. Even before being pregnant it was normal for me to get up at least once per night to pee. The last few nights I've bee up around midnight and then 3am with going to bed about 10. Last night, I only got up at 2am. I'm drinking a ton of water during the day so I expect to get up a lot at night. Thankfully, I'm able to "sleepwalk" to the bathroom, go and then fall right back asleep. 

  • I pee a lot during the day, but once I'm asleep, I'm asleep.  I don't wake up.  I usually just go right before I go to sleep and then first thing when I get up in the morning.

    I haven't had to get up during the night but I do go a lot during the day. I feel like it will get worse later on, once the baby is big enough to press on my bladder!

  • I have been having to get up 1 or 2 times a night.

  • Nope.  I pee a lot during the day but I haven't gotten up once in the middle of the night yet.  (knock on wood, that seems like it would be annoying).

  • I sleep a lot & I drink a lot of water so I've always woken up around 430 to pee. Lately I get up twice a night instead of just once but I'm bad about drinking a lot of water right before bed - I'm just so thirsty!

    I pretty much have zero other symptoms though so you likely just don't have "frequent urination..." yet.

  • I have not had to pee any more that before I was pregnant.  I'm guessing it will happen sooner than later but I'm enjoying the infrequent bathroom trips for now!

  • I'm not getting up at night. That didn't happen for me until late 2nd tri with my son.

  • I am ironically peeing more during the day than normal, but I sleep right through the night. Prior to getting pregnant, I use to wake up at least 1-2 times throughout the night to pee. Now, I pretty much sleep straight through. I think it's just because I'm constantly SO tired, it's like I'm never able to catch up on sleep and no amount of sleep is suitable for this pregnant body!
