How often are you getting up in the middle of the night

HopeNotLost · August 2012

to pee? Last night...4 times. Ugh. I feel like I didn't get any sleep at all. I hate it, cuz it takes me forever to get comfortable again, and then fall asleep, and then it seems like 20 mins later, I'm back up again.

Dimples0101 · August 2012

At least twice, sometimes more to pee. I wake up a few other times because I'm uncomfortable. I know it's only going to get worse, but holy cow- I'm so tired all the time.

futuremrscanet · August 2012

Between 4 and 7 times. Usually near 7. Thank goodness so far I am able to fall right back to sleep.

SwanRiver27 · August 2012

Me too! Sometimes even more and it is only going to get worse. I remember after DS was born, I was actually getting more sleep because I didn't have to wake up to pee so many times- a couple of diaper changes was nothing.

StefandTodd · August 2012

0-1 times.

NoeliaV · August 2012

3 to 4 times is average. The nights where I only get up twice are magical, and once I only got up one time... it was like a choir of angels when I woke up that day. I felt so rested, lol.

This!

Some nights not at all, but most of the time once.

It all depends mostly on how well DD sleeps. Like last night she slept in her bed till around 2 and woke up crying. I didn't have to go bad enough that I would have woken up myself.

FairyDuster003 · August 2012

Only about 2 times. I always pee before bed and try to do that leaning forward thing to make sure I'm completely empty. But last night I got up to pee at 4am and couldn't go back to sleep. I just turned on the tv until I finally passed out. Sometimes it's worse and I'll get up about 4 times but it's better since I make sure I'm empty every time. It also helps you get back to sleep quicker if you don't turn on the bathroom light. Use a nightlight instead.

Yup! Sounds like we're the lucky ones..

MinaE01 · August 2012

2-3 times a night

BrittanyDoesDerby · August 2012

1-2 times depending on how much I drink.

sarahtc17 · August 2012

I am anywhere from 4-10 its insane! and driving me nuts!

mlangs · August 2012

I am a lucky one. I don't get up often in the middle of the night... maybe once a week. I may wak up for a sec when rolling over or BF's alarm goes off but most of the time I fall back asleep before I even know what woke me.

I am not looking forward to the day where this changes.

4910bride · August 2012

Any where from 1-3 times. Depends on how tired that I am, and how much that I have had to drink that day.

MissusTexas · August 2012

I get up 4 or 5 times Sad

rockinmommy · August 2012

Once I hit 15 weeks I stopped getting up nightly, sometimes I do, most times I don't. It all depends on how much I drank, but I have a cut off time, and I try to go as many times as possible before I go to sleep.

MissGOP · August 2012

At least 3 times. Last night I was so groggy that I ran into the wall on my way out of the bedroom.

ObLaDi · August 2012

It varies, but I probably average about 3 times.

It helps me to:

1) just get up and go the moment I wake up, rather than laying there thinking about how badly do I really need to go

2) not turn on the lights

3) not flush (such a loud, jarring sound!)

4) not look at the clock (it'll just stress me out to see how often I'm going and how close it is to wake-up time)

lmb5109 · August 2012

Before is was 2-3 times. Now I stop drinking water an hour before I go to bed and it's only once a night now.

ConyersHoney · August 2012

Usually only once to pee, but it's at like 4:30-5ish, so by the time I fall back asleep and the alarm goes off, I have maybe another 45 mins of sleep. I wake up fairly often to roll over, adjust position, sometimes I have even woken myself up with my horrendous snoring lately. Last night however I was up 4 times to pee, but was in a really comfortable position, and I can't remember waking up to adjust... and my hubby says I didn't snore as much... thank goodness for new pillows!

I do this too, but with the door frame. I think I am over enough, but nope, face meets door frame.

minervacullen · August 2012

Depends on the night. I guess the average is 3 or 4, some times it's as often as once and hour though. I too can't get back to sleep, I'm sore and all that wonderful stuff.

Alex17 · August 2012

0 or 1 time.

Y'all need to stop drinking fluids after dinner so you don't have to get up so often.

I try to get all my fluids for the day in early and then just drink a little at dinner until bed and it really helps the bathroom situation at night.

elinakc · August 2012

I usualy go right before bed around 9-10pm ish. and can last the whole night till i wake up for work around 3am. But i can also last till about 8 or 9am ish on my days off.

ill havent waken up too much in the night lately, like i use too. but when i usually do im too tired and lazy to go pee and just hold it till i decide to get up and start my day lol. have yet to have an accident*knock on wood*

I'm so glad you suggested that! Because I didn't already try that, erm, 15 weeks or so ago! :: eye roll ::

Some of us are just lucky to have more active bladders than others. Restricting liquids just leaves me thirsty, crampy and I still have to pee multiple times a night.

starsinger17 · August 2012

I get up between 0 and 2 times a night and after working a few night shifts I've realized that when I do get up its because my son is kicking or laying on my bladder. I always get up during the hours where he's up and moving. Although luckily I've been able to sleep through that for the most part. I never would have made the connection if I hadn't worked an overnight shift.

RissKay · August 2012

2+, but thankfully it's been more like 1-2 lately. I think I've been so tired over the last week that my body gave me a break?

ilenegrace · August 2012

1-2

Yeah. I thought I was the only one! I guess peeing just before bed does it for me.

After a UTI about 5 years ago my bladder just doesn't seem to hold as much for as long, so pregnancy has only amplified the problem.

Also, I get hella thirsty about an hour before dinner and just can't help drinking a class of ice water. Sucks.

dlbello23 · August 2012

Prob about three to four times!

It probably helps that we eat around 6:30 and I go to bed around 8:30. Ha haha. Not too hard not to drink a lot then.

barclayri · August 2012

I'm normally 3-5 times, but recently, only about 1-3 times....This worries me!!

Im considering blowing up an air mattress and camping out on the bathroom floor just to save myself the trip.

Hmph. I will grumpily concede that point to you, ma'am. :-P

julesann16 · August 2012

Wow! I am annoyed I am waking up once to pee, but after looking at some of the comments, I guess I should be happy!

It must be having two pregnancies so close together. I am still feeling like this is part of a long never-ending pregnancy.

leilaninbutch · August 2012

1 to 3. But once it's 3, I fear it actually may be more - I'm just too delirious to actually remember the trip. The irony is that I don't have to pee very often during the day! And is it just me, or is the left side more pee-inducing than the right?
