This is so humiliating to admit...
I'm a 16 year old girl and last night I wet the bed. Who the fuck still wets the bed when they're in high school??!?? Me, apparently. And this isn't the first time, it's the second. The first time was last month. Fortunately, no one knows about this (and hopefully it'll stay that way). But I know something must be wrong for this to be happening. I don't know what though. I'm not losing bladder control when I'm awake. It's only when I'm asleep. So what does that mean? Help!!!!

First, you may think you're the "only one", but you're not. True, small children sometimes have this problem, but not exclusively.
You could have either an emotional or physical reason that's being expressed in this manner. So, I would start with a checkup at your doctor's office. Take it from there...this may be relatively easy to resolve.
Meanwhile, so as to avoid doing a lot of laundering of bedsheets, try wearing some "Depends" to bed, until this gets fully resolved.
Good wishes, good luck ! ~Dr. Stephanie

Just so you know, I agree wholeheartedly with everything the other advice giver said. So on the last point, if female ejaculation or fluids are the issue, regular fluids will leave a small wet spot while actual ejaculation is much more and more likely to make one think an entire bladder was released. Ejaculation in female hasn't been studied much so there isn't much to tell except that some women ejaculate out their vagina while when others have the orgasm, the fluids go into their bladder. Some are born with the connecting tube to do this and others aren't. No show of fluid doesnt mean she didnt ejaculate. that much scientists are sure of. I happen to do this so when having sex, theres always a towel under us to catch something in case I do.It doesnt happen every time. The only way you will know if to rule out other issues first. So it is best to see your family Dr. So unless you are able to make an appt and get to it yourself, its best to talk to your Mom, and if no Mom, an aunt about your issue, and show them what the internet says about causes of the wetting, or show what we have written and say you want to see a Dr. but too embarrassed to talk to Dad if thats all you have. Seeing a Dr is important. Then if all looks fine, you may just want to sleep with a towel under you to catch liquid while you sleep, although those absorbent bed pads with plastic on the bottom are better for no leakage of fluid. However the problem is that they slide around too easy as you move in your sleep and may be no where near your bottom when it happens. I found that out the hard way.

Have you noticed any problems when you urinate that weren't happening before such as pain or straining? One reason for adults wetting bed could be because of diabetes (on set), a kidney stone blocking normal ability to release urine or it could be a UTI or even a new medicine causing the issue or sleep and other disorders according to the Mayo Clinic web site.
It's more common than you think because people don't want to talk about it. Doctors have seen and heard everything including this a lot over course of career. What you need to do is book an appointment about it and see what they say the cause is so you can nip it in the bud so it only occurs twice.
None of this is your fault and may be a medical issue in which you can get corrected or under control upon talking with doctor about the source.
Also, if it is urine the one thing you shouldn't do is drink before bed especially if you think your body isn't reminding you to get up and go to the bathroom. Try eliminating having fluids at night period.
The only other thing I can think of is that is a long shot perhaps what you think is urine on sheets isn't. You've probably heard in sex-ed classes about wet dreams and males ejaculating during sleep as normal. What they don't focus on is that these kinds of dreams can happen to females if aroused during sleep. While you won't ejaculate there is vaginal fluids and lubrication secreted so that may be what you see on your underwear and bedding. That's no big deal and normal either way. I hope this helps you and covers all angles.
Once you talk to a doctor things will become clearer on what to do and the direct cause. I wouldn't be embarrased over something you couldn't control either.
