I went swimming with my two daughters when they were both expecting babies. The three of us had gone away for the weekend, and were staying at a hotel in Port Clinton, Ohio, which was close to where we used to go on vacation when they were little. Val, the older one, had tried for a long time to get pregnant, taking somewhat heroic measures. I’d gone with her to one of her appointments to get hormone shots, which had
The amount of urine we produce partly depends on the time of day. The ‘circadian rhythm’, or body clock, results in more urine being excreted during daylight hours. At night, the brain produces a chemical, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which tells the kidneys to cut down the amount of urine produced to allow us to sleep.
However, factors such as age and medication can affect this.
