Mother's of older kids and expecting

[babymk5]

I'm currently 23 weeks with a 6 year old already. since finding out about pregnancy my daughter has been pissing on herself!!! I've stop letting her drink *** much even no drinks after a certain time but it never fails. Its gotten so bad that I had to purchase a hand help cleaner. It only happen when she is sleep. Have any other mom experience the older child going back into the baby stage?!?! how did you handle it?

Wow...thanks ladies!!! I was leaning towards being lazy don't know why I never thought of uti. I will be taking her in to be sure what's going on.

I agree with a doctor's opinion. We dealt with this with our oldest and it was actually caused by her constipation. Kids might not know the different signals when they have to go. Our doctor explained it also like when we're pregnant and the baby moves and you have to go all of a sudden. Same can happen with bowel movements, it can move and hit the bladder with no warning.

Have you tried talking to her and asking her if she feels when she has to go? My also 6yo is doing this, but is wide awake when he goes in his closet to pee, his reason, "because I wanted to", we now have to replace the carpet, all electronics have been taken away, now he pees on himself on the tile floor so he cleans it and has to hand wash his clothes or else he can go to school naked, the mommy never ending battle =)

This happened to Mt niece try taking her to the doctor she ended up having a uti it didn't hurt her when she peed and sometimes she didn't realize she had to go till it was to late. We just thought she was being spoiled

It could be she's in a really deep sleep and doesn't wake up or she's just to lazy to get up and go. I've seen both scenarios happen. You're going to have to start waking her up at night to go to the restroom so that way she can get used to getting up and going at night
