Long time “lurker” as well but wanted to comment on this post. Maybe because of your “saliva issue” you are losing most of your water while drooling in the night on your pillow (or your daughter) and in the morning, there isn’t much to pee out. Just a thought…

I have been reading your posts for a while & decided to respond to this one. Maybe because you of your “saliva issue” you are losing most of your water through your mouth during the night on your pillow (and your daughter) so you don’t have much to get out in the morning! Just a thought…

I love reading your posts.

long time lurker here, thought i would chime in, i had the same issue for a little while with the pee and i started (i know this is going to sound crazy) putting a few drops of pepermint essential oils in the toilet before i sat down and smelling the bottle of peppermint while sitting there trying to pee.

something in peppermint allows the bladder to relax, my midwife suggested it and i thought she was nuts but was so desperate i tried it anyway.

it works! really well!

anyway, good luck, from a mom due in april.

somebody told me this when I was pregnant and it helped. If you run your fingers across your lower back, it somehow stimulates things and makes you pee. Seriously. It works. I used to pretend I was tickling my kidneys somehow. I know it sounds crazy, but if it helps… )

I had the pee issue when I was pregnant with Boo. It is awful, and there is nothing you can do. I hated that part of it.

Now the spit problem…so on your own with that one! lol

Okay, it’s been a few years (read: thirteen) since I was pregnant, but I do remember the potty issues. The only thing that helped me was to go standing up.

Yeah. We’re not built for it. Think shower. It seemed to help with the bladder cramp problem. Well, that and trying to make a point of going once every couple of hours.

Hang in there, it’s all worth it in the end! And congratulations!

Oh, you are so ridiculously cute, I could punch you!

Um, let’s see. Perhaps eating/drinking more cranberries? Could be a bladder issues (cranberries are naturally good for that). Also, perhaps you’re intaking too much salt and retaining water, so instead of peeing, it stays? Just a few guesses.

Regardless, you are the cutest thing ever. The end. <3

You know about my spit issues already, but when I was pregnant with Luke, I had the pee issues, too. I once fell asleep ON THE TOILET because I was up trying to pee so many times a night. Tommy, however, was the nicest baby ever because he gave me no pee issues. The spit, however…

I have heard of the spit thing before, but not the pee thing. Oh the things we are willing to go through for those little bundles that arrive after none months of torture
