Water & trips to the loo

Never before have I ever had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (even when pregnant I didn't have to start that til half way through my 8th month), since starting this journey with all this water it is a regular trip around 3 a.m. Drives me crazy, I know, it is flushing through my body, but I preferred uninterupted sleep :) Anyone else finding the same?

    I normally get up once in the middle of the night to go, but I'm finding that I'm running to the bathroom about 6 times at work now!! It's so annoying. :grumble:

    I know what you mean...I'm normally up at 4am every morning to pee, and constantly throughout the workday. I don't mind it so much because I know that the water is doing my body good! :drinker:

    Sometimes 2-3 times a night. I just learn to live with it.

    I drink most of my water during the day, have one glass an hour before I go to bed, then go to the loo before I go to bed. This way I rarely need to get up in the night. :drinker:

    3 a.m EVERY morning for me too...I think my body has gotten use to going at that time because even if I don't drink all of my water now, I still have to get up at 3 and tinkle!:laugh:

    I get up twice at night, but not for me, for my pesky dog.:grumble:

    I am ALWAYS up in the middle of the night, 2-4 times a night, even before I started drinking all this water. My bladder is teeny. :grumble:

    Yep! I go to the bathroom all day long lol and a couple times during the night:grumble: But, I just put up with it as well because I know Im doing my body sooo much good! It may help to stop drinking at least an hour before bed?
