First I have to tell you that a few months ago she kept telling us she had to pee everytime we got in the car to go somewhere. When we went on vacation at Thanksgiving we stopped numerous times for her to go but she never would. She kept saying she had to and when a 4 year old says they have to pee you stop, right. Well, the problem went away until recently. She again will say I have to pee as soon as we get in the car to go anywhere. I told her to hold it except a couple times when she started crying saying she had to go soooooooooooo bad. So I have stopped at various places (Denny's, the grocery store) just to take her to the bathroom and guess what? She doesn't go. It's very annoying and time consuming and I have just been hoping it will pass again. Now back to the last 4 nights: She gets in bed and a few minutes later gets up to pee and sits on the toilet for 10 minutes and doesn't go so goes back to bed. A few minutes later the same thing and again and again and again. She keeps saying that everytime she lays down she feels like she has to pee. I kind of understand feeling like you have to go when you are riding in a car, but laying down? She keeps saying something is wrong with her and I should take her to the Dr. I just don't know what they could do. I was thinking maybe she had a UTI but wouldn't she really pee over and over besides having other syptoms? Does anyone have any suggestions? It's so frustrating and she is soooo tired and whiny the last few days. The poor girl...
This is how I found her lastnight, she finally fell asleep on her floor next to her buddy, Truman.
This is how I found her a little while ago. I thought she was finally asleep and went in her room to check on her. Truman was there, but no Jenna? She was sound asleep on the toilet, not sure how long she had been there. Poor girl!

Poor Jenna! I don't have a clue. How much water does she drink? The first thing I would do is make sure she is drinking lots and lots of water.
Will she wear a pull up to bed- maybe that would make her relax because she is afraid of peeing the bed????
When I was little I had to have surgery on my ureters (from bladder to urethra) because of similar symptoms. Take her to the doctor. I'm prone to uti's and it's amazing how fast antibiotics help if that is the case.
Carly, I would have her seen by a doctor, just to make sure. Poor girl! Darn cute that she fell asleep on the potty though - good balance.
i've had UTI's most of my life and they are miserable. i thought once that Nat had one and my heart was breaking! at least there are good meds for her to take that relieve the symptoms right away! you're so patient, when Nat does that wanting to pee then not going, i get mad and scold her good once we're back in the car. i guess i should be more sympathetic 'cause you never know when it could be something!
