How often do you get up to go to the bathroom at night?

chatty6176 · April 2014

I drink about 70-80 oz. of water a day along with milk, etc. How often do you get up at night to use the bathroom? I try not to drink a ton before bed, but since I have gestational diabetes I usually have milk with my bedtime snack. I am up about 2 times a night. Just curious on others.

2-3 times, usually.

VelvetElegance · April 2014

2-3 times on average.

Probably 2-3, totally depending on what I drink right before bed. I'm always disappointed when I wake up feeling like my bladder is going to explode and i pee for a whole 2 seconds.

If I pee right before going to bed, I don't get up at all. I wake up in the morning pretty uncomfortable, though.

I've been pretty lucky this pregnancy. I'm 35 weeks and only get up 0-1 times a night to pee. (I hope I didn't just jinx it)
My first pregnancy I was up 2-3 times and another time to have something to eat.

Plenty. Enough to where I got to see the eclipse tonight 3 times in less than 2 hours.

heie0008 · April 2014

Currently about 1-2. I try hard not to drink a lot right before bed but that always seems to be when I'm the most thirsty. I should probably try to drink more earlier in the day...

Once, but not every night. I wake up a lot and ignore it, but I am only 15.5 weeks so I know I won't be able to forever.

julestony · April 2014

1-2 times, though a month ago it was 3 times every night.

Squiddly · April 2014

1-2 times, but I try not to drink anything starting about three hours before I go to bed.

jg1011 · April 2014

Most nights 2-3 times. I'm a teacher and alone in my classroom so I drink minimally during the day and then load up after 3 PM. That makes my evening bathroom visits quite frequent.

tbarker14 · April 2014

With me, I am generally heading to the bathroom every 4 hours (night and day). I drink at least 2.5 to 3 liters of water a day. It is something I always have done even before this pregnancy. Last night, I couldn't sleep until 2am. From 2 to 7am I was up 4 times

what I find helps is if I leave all the lights off...just use a tiny night light in the bathroom. This way I'm able to fall asleep a bit faster afterwards! Glad to know I'm not the only one with interrupted sleep!

On a good night - 3. On a rough night - 6. It just depends on where he's dancing the night away, I guess.

Oh, and I am drinking water all day long. I usually have a glass of juice with breakfast and if it's a weekend I will probably have a Root Beer at some point in the day - especially now that it's baseball season!

herecomesthesun · April 2014

Most nights it's 2-3 times a night. Occasionally it's once or up to 4-5 times. It has very little to do with when I drink. I notice that the nights when I only get up once, I'm sleeping really deep.

LilSip0611 · April 2014

Most nights 2-3 times. If I'm really lucky and they don't both start kicking at the same time, then maybe 1-2 but that's rare.

tacosandtums · April 2014

2-3 times. DH and I are switching sides of the bed this week so I can be closer to the bathroom- haha

Cat&S · April 2014

0-1 times. I drink a ton of water in the day, but not much a few hours before bed.

mrsH1112 · April 2014

Usually 3-4 times a night. Some nights worse than others. I also have gestational diabetes, and I think I red somewhere that it can make you urinate more, especially if you are having an off day with your numbers.

ready-or-not · April 2014

I am considering clearing out a space for a sleeping bag & setting up shop in the bathroom at night. No matter how much I do/don't drink at night, I pee all fricking night.

caybeh · April 2014

About 3-4. Some nights is more. If I'm having a night where I can't sleep, then I end up going every 45-60 min.

AndreaKae27 · April 2014

3-4. Last night was 5.

chatty6176 · April 2014

Thanks, ladies. I guess I am average.

Try and get some sleep!

awc1986 · April 2014

Usually twice since she dropped. I try not to drink anything after 8pm, which helps. Our bathroom is downstairs and through the kitchen, so it's a PITA to get to in the middle of the night. I'd rather just not drink after 8 than be up and down every 2 hours.

spinsemeyer · April 2014

Only 1-2 times a night (it's usually when I first stand up that things shift and I suddenly need to pee OMGNOW) but I've still got a long ways to go.

SavyShi · April 2014

Usually 1-2 times a night, but as soon as I wake up I'm uncomfortable and need to pee. I'm sure it's only going to get worse from here! LOL!

Friskypuppys · April 2014

it was hourly, but now it's about 1-2 times a night. Now I'm to having dreams instead. I'd rather get up 20 times than dream.

CaylaD2014 · April 2014

I am up about 2-3 times a night.

Dani0329 · April 2014

1-2 times right now.

momthatlifts · April 2014

In first tri I got up once or twice an hour until it was time for me to get up. I've counted a good 10+times. It was sooooooo bad! Now I get up between 2-5 times a night. Depends on how my body wants to respond to all the water I drank that day

lvcpatt84 · April 2014

Omg, I'm on about a 75 minute schedule! Same time just about every night! Sometimes, if I'm tired enough, I can just sleep through the urge, but now that I'm out of the exhaustion of first trimester, I usually end up getting up to go. On the up side, at least I'm getting used to getting up every hour, even if it is just to pee!
