enoxaparin and aspirin

[London_panda123]

hi all

I’m on both plus progesterone

Currently 15.5w pregnant

Got up to pee 8 times last night

Incredibly thirsty

Incredibly dry mouth as blocked nose so mouth breathing

Is this much peeing normal? Can the meds contribute to it? I’ve had bloods checked not diabetic

But 8x to pee in one night is a bit ridiculous

Am noticing I drink more in eves as so busy in the day treating patients (Am patient facing so always wearing a mask and visor- difficult to get water breaks throughout the day without breaking infection control protocol)

Hey

I'm 15 weeks and also really thirsty, blocked nose so have dry throat and chapped lips which believe is pretty usual around this stage but generally only need 1 wee in the night. 8 times is definitely high - that's like once an hour! You must be shattered from not getting much sleep.

I'd maybe contact your midwife to check with them. Have you got a check up about 16 weeks when they'll do urine test and blood test as they could always check for other things. I also don't know about enoxaparin so sorry can't help with that.

Hope you get up less tonight and things settle down a bit. Good luck xx

Hey there, I had a very similar issue as also have a patient facing job & the nightly toilet trips were really annoying. Not quite 8 visits but fairly close to that. I had a history of recurring UTI so I thought that might also be a factor. It did seem to improve slightly when we reduced the progesterone at 16 weeks.x Also had the stuffy nose & mouth breathing which I read is normal in pregnancy. Hubby moved to the spare room for a bit due to my snoring & toilet trips 🤦‍♀️. It’s all annoying but totally worth it! Hang in there.x

I did go through about a week where I was peeing constantly. I’ve generally been thirsty all pregnancy and my skin is quite dry so I think it’s easy to get dehydrated- I’m definitely drinking more than I normally do. The stuffy nose is normal, I’ve still got it now and I’m told every morning how much I’ve snored in great detail! But I think it’s worth getting checked out in case it’s a UTI x

thanks all so only 2x last night

But feel like that’s because I intentionally didn’t drink water

I’ve got a midwife appt next week so will ask her to check for UTI

Thanks ladies appreciate the advice xx

FYI all it turned out to be a urine Infection

Starlight daisy you were right

Today woke up with a burning sensation when peeing

Now on ABs

Just thought I’d put it on here for others to learn from my experience and close the loop

Thanks all for advice support
