The pee conversation should be here...

How many times do you pee at night?   I am still up once and it's been 7 months since that baby came out!! 

Well, I pee alot but I am pregnant! Usually 2 times a night!!

Every lay in bed and try to fight it but worry you'll pee yourself?  :)  Or is that just me.

um, i do that now. *looks around shiftily*

*clarification -- that is, i wonder if i'll pee myself -- not that i actually DO!

 I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant and I get up 2 -3 times during the night but pee every 20-30 minutes

Well, consider yourselves lucky ladies!  My husband didn't believe me until we were married and he saw it with his own eyes. . .I consistently wake to pee during the night between 6-10 times.  My mom always said it was in my head, but when you are awakened by the urge to go, then I don't think it's in your head.  She finally agreed with me.  I suffered a severe kidney/bladder infection during my freshman year of high school (13 long years ago!) and things haven't been the same since.  I don't think I make that much urine, I just have trouble emptying everytime I go.  They're pretty sure that I have permanent kidney damage which probably results in the frequent urination/inabilty to empty my bladder.  But, add pregnancy to this and I might as well stay up at night and forget about sleep!  Things have gotten worse since my first child (she's four now) and I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant so I guess my journey to the potty begins again. lol.  I might just camp out on the toilet with a pillow?!

 I get up once a night. My problem is that I have the hardest time going back to sleep after. It is really driving me crazy. It is making it really hard for me to function the rest of the day.

Krae- they have doctors that specialize in voiding problems that might be able to help you.   I would check into that – if you have scar tissue resulting in your earlier infection there are some herbal treatments to help the kidney be more pliable that might also help you get some relief.

i am still pretty early in my pregnancy and i have just within the past few days started peeing constantly..i have to pee right now actually. haha

but i'm getting up about once a night. but im sure in about a week or 2 ill be peeing even more.

good luck to everyone!! =] 

Thanks for information christi!  Goodness knows I need to research some alternative solutions.  I'm allergic to most kinds of antibiotics so I tend to like herbal treatments as an option.  Thanks again!

I am starting to feel like something is wrong with me now..... because I am about 15 weeks and since the begging I wake up about 7-10 times a night almost every hour.. I thought that this was normal but reading other messages I guess not?? However I did have a really bad kidney infection about four years ago and ever since then even before I was pregnant I pee alot! I was going to see a urologist but I thought it was all in my head and didn't want to wast anyones time so all this peeing could have to do with my kidney's??

It could be something with your kidney (do you have pain in your back where your kidney is?) or it could be something with your bladder.  It doesn’t hurt to get it checked out.  Remember the first thing they are going to ask you is to stop drinking before a certain time – like 6pm to see if that helps so I would try that before going in so that you can say that you have already tried that and it is still happening.  Good luck!

Thank you, I used to think I just drank to much coffee but I am starting to think there may be a problem because since I have been pregnant I do not drink much coffee at all, but I used to go to the doctor all the time thinking I had a UTI because the constant peeing and they would always call me after the lab work was done telling me I did not have a UTI.  Should I wait till the pregnancy is over to take care of the problem because I know that I can't really take any medications while pregnant?

would that be pain on my left side lower back?

It would not be your lower back and you should not feel it on your side. It is more above the lower back but before the middle of the back.  I can't really describe it.  Are you having pain?
