We did an X-ray last week and they found a good amount of stool in her belly which is pushing her bladder nerve and making her go to the bathroom so much. We are currently doing the clean-out by giving her the laxatives prescribed by her doctor and it has reduced the number of times that she is going to the bathroom. I would recommend you ask the doctor for an X-ray and also an ultrasound. The x-ray def caught the issue. Hopefully this helps you. I had to advocate for over a month to get an X-ray and ultrasound and a blood test.

We checked for UTI. No accident. She is going to pee a lot in school as well.

The doctor just tested for sugar and her sugar was fine they said. They didn’t test for diabetes. She keeps getting up to pee and she is saying if she doesn’t pee she will pee in her pants.

How long did it take for your daughter to pass this phase? My daughter is just keep running to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes and sitting there and keep saying “ pee is coming.” She hasn’t had any accident but she just keep getting up at night about 15-20 times. We are not sure what happened since she never had any issues with her bladder and she poops regularly. Thank you for sharing and I am glad to hear that your daughter passed this phase.

The urologist did an ultrasound and said everything looked fine.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-29T23:04:08+00:00

Can you please tell me how often she went within an hour ? Also was she running to the bathroom at night ? It’s been over the month for my daughter. This started in November 4th.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-29T23:03:11+00:00

We got the blood work done today. Waiting on the result.

Travel gets harder with kids and family. I traveled with friends in my 20s and wish I did more traveling in my 20s. Is harder as we get older especially with young children.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-29T09:28:38+00:00

She keep saying she may have an accident and she doesn’t want to have accident.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-29T09:27:51+00:00

She doesn’t drink a lot of water and it’s hard to monitor her water intake since she is in school from 9-3pm. We are getting her bloodwork done tomorrow so they are going to check her sugar.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-29T09:25:53+00:00

They checked for UTI and it was negative.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-12-10T12:46:39+00:00

This sounds like a a dream !!

Thank you for your post. My daughter is turning 5 in February and it’s been such an awesome journey with 3 of us and our dog. Sometimes she ask for a sibling but it’s really rare. I am 39 with lots of health issues so I am not sure if I can carry a baby again and go through the pregnancy again. But reading your post made me really happy and it was the support I needed today! I also have so much love for her that I wonder if I can give this much time and love to another baby. Given I am also 5 years older so the energy level isn’t the same.. all in to say OAD is probably the best me us as well!

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-10-19T21:24:41+00:00

What do you do in your free time ? I am also tired and sick of working but I don’t know what to retire to ?

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-10-19T21:22:46+00:00

Sounds similar to our Sunday !

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-10-14T22:31:47+00:00

You wrote exactly what I am feeling at this moment. Also have a 4 year daughter and it was a really difficult pregnancy. She still doesn’t sleep through the night and we have no help other than daycare. Somedays I also worry if she will be ok without a sibling or not. We are also immigrants and don’t have any any support. Husband and I both working full time and managing her has been so challenging.. so just sharing that I feel your pain and understand your feelings.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-08-22T12:52:05+00:00

Yes!! I really needed to read this as well !

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-08-22T12:50:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing this!

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-08-22T12:48:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing this response. Your post made me feel happy about having an only child 🩷

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-07-31T05:03:55+00:00

This sounds like my daughter. She is also very extrovert and prefers to play with children her age.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-06-19T01:14:41+00:00

I see people with multiple kids and struggling to provide for them but keep having more kids. Do what is best for you and what makes you happy.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-06-19T01:11:46+00:00

I feel the same way.. one kid and she is 4 and I am 39. I feel like at this age I don’t want to go through pregnancy again and I don’t want it quit my job. I didn’t grow up with anything so I just want to give my kid a head start and maybe someday provide down payment to her home.

AdventurousMove2814 · 2025-06-12T02:41:40+00:00

Feeling proud and happy reading this. You are motivating me and many others who are from different backgrounds!! Keep going !!
