Is it normal for a 12yo girl to still be wetting the bed at night?

My partner has a 12yo daughter who regularly wets the bed. She wears pull-ups to sleep each night but occasionally even these fail and bedlinen needs to be changed.
My concern is that she is nearly in high school and hence soon will be going on school camps, wanting to sleep over at friends’ houses etc but will be too embarrassed because of this.
Would being overweight potentially be a cause for bedwetting?
Has anyone had any experience with bedwetting treatment alarms, and if so, how useful have they been?
Thanks

this has happened to 2 people in my family
it may run in the family or it could be some thing wrong with her bladder
if you think it is necessary to take her to the doctor that might be wise just to make sure nothing is wrong
being over weight wouldnt have something to do with it (i dont think)
my family members did use an alarm and it helped a lot! they both used them and it woke them up but it also made their bodies get used to when to wake up right before they had an accident so they could wake up at night then they stopped wetting the bed and they didnt need the alarm andy more so it worked wonders, but its different for every one and their sleep habits
hope every thing goes well for your daughter
