I am 23 weeks pregnant, and sometimes when I wake up my underwear are really wet. My bed isnt wet, but just my underwear. It smells like urine. Am I peeing on myself at night?

you might be, as the baby gets bigger he or she puts more pressure on your bladder. You might just be releasing a little trickle of urine while sleeping..trust me it happens to almost every pregnant woman...when i was prego i would laugh or sneeze and it just all came out..its only the beginning..good luck hun..i wouldnt worry too much about it..its normal

It is very possible it is pee. When you are prego the baby takes up a lot of room in your belly and this is hard on the bladder, specially if you are not a tall person. Shorter people have smaller bladders. It is possible you will pee a little on yourself if you cough or sneeze also. Just wear a panty liner all the time. Also, do NOT forget to mention it to your doctor because if it is not pee it could be amniotic fluid and that is bad to be left untreated. Good luck and enjoy all the little "perks" of soon being a mommy.

could just be a bit of bladder leakage.. ive had it a couple of times, but not often. Why did the guy who mentioned about the muscle exercises get thumbs down? he is spot on, i have been to 3 labour classes and that was one of the first things they talked about, a physio came in and showed us how to do the excersises... take his advice. Cant remember if it was called the kegal muscle or not, somthing like that. But if it is your bladder, this is generally what the doctor/midwife will tell you to do.. not sure if you had to do 100 oft ehm a day though, 4 exercises 8 times a day was what they told us. It probably varies.

well its not amniotic fluid because if it were then it would smell more like bleach or something. NOT urine. I would go to the doctor just to be on the safe side but i'm sure nothing is wrong. If it were amniotic fluid then it would continue to flow even throughout the day. Your body contiually produces amniotic fluid while carrying the baby so there would be an endless supply. But like i said go to the doc just to reassure yourself.

You might be! Incontinence during and after pregnancy is very common. You are running out of room in there.
You should start doing kegels, if you're not already doing them. You need to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which support your internal organs, including your bladder. That will help you from having bladder issues.

You need to ask your doctor about it. I was having problems with my water leaking and I told the doctor about it. Everytime they would do the test to see if it was fluid it would come back negitive but I had terrible complications when I had him. The leaking fluid setup infection in my body and when i was in ldor my fever shot up and I had to stay in the hospital for a while and be treated.

You may be, this is a symptom of a weak Kegel muscle. To correct this and invest in the future health of your urethra, clitoris, vagina, and rectum you should do 200 Kegel exercises daily. This muscle is easily identified by stopping the stream of urine midway. Simply flex and release throughout the day. Having a stronger Kegel will also intensify your orgasms which will make your uterus stronger and healthier for your coming birth.

I did alot, your baby is getting big enough to where it's shoving up against your bladder. When your asleep your just kind of peeing on yourself and not realizing it. I did that, my advice where a pad, It will get worse.

it is unquestionably especially consumer-friendly. reckoning on your Age it would desire to be signs and indications Of Menopause Or extra consumer-friendly An Over-lively Bladder. i think of you may desire to communicate on your physician and see If there is drugs you'll be placed on, Or some thing you're able to do to stay away from It From occurring :)

It is VERY possible that you are. You might want to keep in mind though that it could be amniotic fluid leaking. Sometimes it leaks while laying down b/c while upright the baby's head acts as a stopper. I would go to the doc immediately
