Toliet runs and sleep!!!

[debsladybird]

Hi there,

Just wondered if anyone is suffering like me!

I'm having to get up in the night 1, 2 and sometimes 3 times to go to the loo. When I go to bed my bladder feels sore, like when you've been waiting for the loo for ages but as I'm getting up so often its not!! I'm also really struggling to sleep. Its not just for going to the loo, I am just restless and wake up really early each morning and struggle to get back to sleep. This morning it was 4.30am!!

Is this normal for so early on in a pregnancy???? I thought it was in late pregnancy that it got bad!!!

Yeah i am having to go to the loo loads of times a night, its a nightmare especially coz its so cold at the moment too. Takes ages to warm back up! I have always been a bit of a night person and not going to sleep till late but now i actually want to i cant... and when i do im awake really early too!

Maybe its our bodies way preparing us for what it will be like with a little baby! Think from what i have read its pretty normal! Fingers crossed things get better before they get worse xxx

Hi hun

I was exactly like that with the toilet runs - never really eased up although past week been down to 2 a nite lol xox

Apparently, during the first trimester the uterus is expanding to fill the pelvis which presses on the bladder. During the second trimester the uterus rises out of the pelvis releasing the pressure on the bladder. And during the third trimester, the size of the uterus once again puts pressure on the bladder.

Same here!! Esp if I've had a kip during the day I seem to be more aware that I need to pee. If I don't kip I think I go a little less but still going every nite!!
