After Pregnancy

I gave birth to my daughter on May of 2006, every since her birth I've noticed that I urinate quite often. At night is the worse, I find myself having to get out of bed 5 or 6 times a night, maybe more. This is very aggravating. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

well i had the sam problem after i had my son. but mine was because of my bladder being weak. while you are pregnant the baby pressed down on your bladder which causes you to have to go to the bathroom more often. this eventually causes your bladder to become weak. the reason you have to go so much at night is because you body is relaxed unlike in the day when you can control it. i know this may same werid but there is an exercise you can do, sitting in the chair watching tv even and no one will ever know you can tighten and loosen your musle in "that area" which will help to strenthen your bladder. it doesnt fully make it go away but it does help.
