How much do you drink & pee?
Just curious.
I'm drinking a gallon everyday and peeing about 50 times from morning to bedtime. I am almost done with my UTI medication so I think the excessive peeing is just "normal" for me. I always had an overactive bladder so between that, the gallon of water and the pressure of the baby peeing this often is something I think I'll have to get used to.
Is anyone else peeing a lot? I live in the bathroom :(

Re: How much do you drink & pee?
if you have a UTI, its no wonder you're peeing a lot. After my IUI, I had a lot of fluid around my ovaries and I was peeing 2x an hour. Now the fluid's reabsorbed and I dont pee as much but I still get up 3-4 times a night to pee

Re: How much do you drink & pee?
I drink about 6 8 ounce glasses of water a day --- 48 ounces...sometimes more.
Honestly I don't pee a LOT...but what happens instead is that when I have to pee, it comes on like a storm and it's this giant forever pee! 
I also can't make it through the night without having to get up to pee, normally at around midnight and again at 3. It's very annoying since I am up at 5:20 during the week! I'd love to just sleep straight thruogh! I am so tired!

My Drs rule is a gallon of water every day and gave hiim a hard time about it last night because even at the hospital they recommend half that amount, but I have been drinking a gallon. I haven't counted but I think I pee at least 15 times a day.

OAB is terrible. I'm afraid I won't be able to have a second or third child because of it.
The Dr. told me to drink a gallon because of BH. They want me to be very hydrated. I started having BH at around 15 weeks. The extra fluids increased the amount of urination I have to do and I only get BH before or after I empty my bladder. It doesn't happen everytime but I only notice it happening when I have to use the bathroom or when I am walking out of the bathroom. So I'm drinking all of this water because of BH but I feel like the constant peeing is causing them to happen. I can't win.

The gallon is tough on me only because I have to pee at least 5 times for every glass I drink and I'm drinking 10+ glasses.
I'm barely 105 lbs, I can't possibly need this much water to stay hydrated? I'm just too afraid to cut down because I'm feeling BH so early.
