Brief Answer:
It could be constiparion
Detailed Answer:
Hi Troydelaney,
It could be constipation, as it is a relatively common cause for bed wetting in children. You should try to keep her stools soft, e.g. by using over the counter laxatives. Also, try to keep,a diary of fluid intake (type and amount) for the next few weeks.
Best wishes. Please let me know if you have further questions.
