Is occasional bedwetting in a 12 year old normal?

Question

I wet the bed about 4-6 times a year, and they are all spread out. Is this normal for someone my age to have an occasional accident?

Answer 1

Should keep time to get up and go to bathroom before bedwetting.

Answer 2

well 4-6 times a YEAR sounds pretty normal. hey last year i wet the bed because i had a dream i was walking to the bathroom :P lol

Answer 3

My last accident I was about 10 years old.. I was terribly embarassed, but I was sleeping on a waterbed at the time, and my mom assumed a leak and sprung.

However, it is normal to have little accidents. Try making sure to not drink for about an hour before bed, aside from small sips if you need, and remember to use the restroom before bed.

It sounds easier said than done, but try to tell yourself that youre in bed, and that if you feel the need to go, you need to wake up. My problem used to be that I would dream I was swimming or in a shower and it would just happen. Odd because I would never do those things if I were awake... Now that Ive sort of trained myself to recognize those dreams, instead of bedwetting, my nights are sometimes filled with agonizing "Im peeing everywhere I can (even in DRESSERS) but I still have to go"s until I wake up and realize, potty time! lol

Goodluck and try not to fret over it.
