Bedwetting Support Group

Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.

Hello

I have 10 and 8 year old girls that still bedwet.  Their dr says not to worry it corrects itself.  We havent seen improvement yet.  I didnt know if anyone is going throught, or went through, similar with their kids.

I started wetting the bed a few months ago it was so bad and I'm 13 I dont know if this will help but my mum is really nice about it I cant help it I guess all I can say is they probably cant help it aswell so it helps when you get support and they will probably feel embarrassed as well.

Hi Andrea

Bed wetting is a very frustrating and difficult problem to overcome.
Like your doctor said it often corrects itself hopefully your girls will grow out of it when they are a little older.
It can take a long time for things to improve there really is no quick fix for it.
Like Nath said support and understanding means so much along with reassurance that it is not their fault.
They can't help that they are not able to hold their pee all night or wake wake up during the night to pee. Understanding that they have a medical problem will hopefully help them with the frustration and embarrassment they feel.

Things like limiting drinks seldom work and it is really not fair to them avoiding drinks high in sugar and replacing them with water is a good practice.
For now it probably will be best for them and you to accept they most likely just need time to grow out of it.

Good mattress covers and if you and the girls decide that it is best to use diapers for now is about all you can do.

Hope things improve for your girls soon.

It's really frustrating to wet the bed and I hope they stop soon. But my mum has always been understanding about it happening and it was when I was about 10 that she told me her own secret which was she was in her late teens when she stopped doing it. And just letting me know I was normal was really helpful. But maybe you can help a bit by making sure they eat and drink healthy stuff. Like if I drink certain things like fizzy drinks I know I have a 100% chance of wetting the bed! So I only drink water except maybe in the morning or lunchtime. But it still happens but much less often.

I’m having a 17 year old bedwetter at home and I can understand your frustration and how much effort it costs to care for them.
All the best for all of you
