anyone else gonna be potty training whilst pregnant?

[Mummy2B1989]

My ds will be 3 in Nov. Same time im due so I need to get him potty trained before this. Also because he starts nursery in dec and needs to be trained by then. Anyone else?

Any tips would also be appreciated

 

[suesue]

Yes me my son is 2 years old when I have this little boy. He's started to take his nappy off so I'm hoping that's a good sign

 

[Lilbean2]

Yes, I need to start, Ds is 3 in Aug, and I'm due 1st Dec, I just can't muster up energy to potty train argh

 

[DocMcStuffins]

I will be.

My eldest is nearly 4 but potty trained so so easily at the age of2. My youngest is currently 2 years 3 months and just not really interested.

I'll be having this baby in October so I'd really like to have her trained by then, but if it starts getting too close to October I'm going to have to leave it.

We attempted to potty trained my eldest at 18 months old when my youngest was due. It worked great, she was totally dry day and night and out if nappies 100% at 18 months. Then my youngest was born when she was19 months and she totally regressed right back to wearing nappies. She wanted nappies like the baby, a dummy like the baby. So then we left it til she was ready which was almost on her second birthday.

So this time unless potty training happens a good few months before I'm due, then I'll be leaving it til after so all her hard work doesn't go to waste when she regressss.

I had my 3yr old trained but recently she keeps wetting herself and shes not botherd :/
Ive had her at the doctors for tests but they have all come back ok so they think it might be because im pregnant so ive had to put her back in pull ups :/

Hey ladies

I am over lurking from 1st tri, I'm due dec and will be trying to potty train my 2 and a half year old before new baby comes, at the moment I don't think she's quite ready, she's telling me when she has done the toilet not before, she had her 27 month check up with the health visitor and she said to start taking her to the bathroom every hour and sitting her on the toilet to get her used to going, has anyone tried this?

 

[GillandJamie]

My youngest will be 3 on 29th December and I would really like her to be trained before this baby comes so that we dont have 2 in nappies. She takes her nappy off atm and tells me that she needs a wee, the she will go on the toilet 80 times and do a tiny little dribble then stop going on the toilet and pee all over the floor. I am not good at the potty training lol xx

Last year we potty trained ds1 who was 2 and 1/2 whilst ds2 was a few months old. I can't remember exactly how we did it but we took advantage of sunny days to let him run around in the garden without a nappy on and put the potty outside. Inside we started off with the potty in front of the telly (if it was on he didn't want to tear himself away from it to go and the potty needs to be somewhere in easy view so they keep seeing it). Then gradually moved the potty further away, then the next room then upstairs next to the loo. Good luck with it!

Has your nursery told you they only accept them if potty trained?

For some children they still aint ready at 3yrs, if they dont get it straight away id deffo leave it and return to it later.

My daughter started nursery, still in nappies. Not ideal but she wasnt ready, we started when she was 3.5yrs (amazing what 5 or so months does) she got hang of it in 5 days no accidents.

My eldest was completely different i felt pressure from those that say children were only 2. She wasnt completely dry until 4.5yrs, since learnt no shame in that just all different. She got soooo involved what she was doing she'd simply forget and it was to late.

No pulls up best thing i did. We used training pants and singing potty.

 

[sandilion]

Yep I will be. DS is 2 now, #2 is due in Nov and I am hoping DS will be trained by the time #2 is born....

It took over a year and 3 tries but I finally got my 2 1/2 year old DD (mostly) trained about 2 months ago. So glad she is because I'm due in 7 weeks and I didn't want to be doing diaper duty for 2 kids. I first started last summer because she was taking her dirty diapers off and I thought she was ready but after a few weeks, it was pretty obvious she wasn't all that interested. We tried again a few months later, but still no luck. New Years, I decided to buckle down and just do the job but it took a few months of mostly bare bum training to get her to figure out what the deal was. I found the bare bum method worked the best for us since she would dirty anything she was wearing otherwise-diapers, pullups, or undies-even if I put her on the potty every 30 minutes, gave her reminders, or set the potty chair out where she could see it. Once she figured out the 'urges', we started adding layers and now she's fully trained with a few accidents every few weeks or so (though we're thinking it's partially due to my having a baby and partially due to a sudden weather warm up so she's playing outside more during the day and forgetting to come in to use the potty.) It took alot of patience (and even more laundry! ) but we eventually got there. I do keep pullups on hand for road trips and such but she's good about letting me know if she needs to go bathroom.

Same!!! Will be watching for adv as my lo LOVES her diapers.. she was doing well on the potty so idk what happened.. its very frustrating.. she will bd 3 in sept as well, same time im due.

My dd is 3 in December, this baby is due in September and I started potty training on Good Friday. She wasn't showing any 'classic' signs eg telling us when she was wet/dirty or taking her nappy off but she was doing big wees so I knew she had bladder control and figured it was worth a try potty training. The first week or so she had good and bad days and I wondered if I'd made the right decision to start but then something just clicked and she was dry, though poos took a bit longer. Glad I but the bullet and started when I did

 

[Rickles]

Yes - we're about to buy a potty and put it in the bathroom to gage interest.

DD has started telling us when she has done a poo - and is very interested in us going to the toilet, but I've been told if you go for it too early you can make work for yourself, so I'll see what she makes of the potty and then decide.

But absolutely keen to have her out of nappies by the time this baby arrives xx

Me! I'm potty training my son (just turned 2 end of March). He is really good at both peeing and pooping in the potty BUT only when I ask him every 15-20 min... he never tells me when he has to go. My question is how to make the transition from me asking him to him telling me.

 

[CaptainMummy]

I started potty training dd1 when I was 20 weeks pregnant with dd2. We were also moving house a fortnight later!! She was 2yrs 3 months and thankfully picked it up really quickly and after 4 days was completely dry. It's totally doable, just stick at it! (We got rid of nappies completely apart from bedtime.)

 

[NotNic]

Yup. My son is two this week and we started in march. He wasn't fully ready but picked up some great skills - holding wees, pulling down trousers etc. We started again late April - daytime dry at home now and we've started elsewhere now. He keeps having accidents at nursery though (after a dry first week there) but we're going with it. He can be dry for an hour out, but he's untested for long periods so he wears a nappy outside. He goes on the potty without us at home, so just trying to translate that into doing the same elsewhere now. Hoping he'll be fully daytime dry by July - so at least 3mths before this one is due.

 

[Tigerlilyb]

Yep I'll be trying again. We tried about 2 months back but after 3 weeks she was still having accidents and my hormones were threatening to make me snap so we stopped. I was worried she'd be confused but she didn't care!

We're having HUGE tantrums over nappies right now so honestly cleaning up a bit of pee is much easier than dealing with her rage. I just started this morning and so far, so good. I think she remembers from last time. She took the potty straight off me and did a pee, then after I emptied it she said "more peepee!" and did another one. I guess she was too excited to finish the first time

Fingers crossed for everyone

I'm in exactly the same boat with my Daughter. She always says when she needs a poo but only does wees on the potty with me reminding her. She's gone to nursery in her pants today; very nervous about how she will have got on as doubt they will be as vigilant as I am at home.

 

[DocMcStuffins]

Im determined not to push it this time. It took 1 DAY for my daughter to do it. Purely because we waited til she was ready at 2. My youngest daughter isn't ready yet at 2 years 3 months and I definitely don't want to be dealing with constant accidents as it can have the reverse affect on helping them becoming confident. Ideally although I would like her to be dry before baby is here, I'd much rather wait until she's totally 100% ready and it happens easily and as quickly as if happened with my eldest.
