if i am awake and drinking like I usually do i’ll pee extremely frequently and the accumulation of that fluid is never apparent when looking at me but when i wake up i have so much stuff to pee out that accumulated at the bladder that i look like I’ve just found out i’m pregnant why is it that if i tried to hold it in when i was awake i’d be in a great deal of discomfort but i don’t wake up in discomfort but am visibly swollen with fluid

It’s the actual urine production that slows down when asleep. Morning pee is well known to be more concentrated than the other peeing throughout the rest of the day. Even if there’s a higher quantity of urine at that time than any other.
