I thought about changing my name but decided not to bother in the end. I have a weakened pelvic floor following the birth of my two children (well DS really, DD just slid out but there may be reasons for that such as the damage already being done). Usually it is bearable and I just have to brace myself when I sneeze etc. But the last week or so I have had a bad cough - it has been dreadful, proper leaking not just a bit. Yesterday I was walking home from school with the DCs and had a coughing fit, and couldn't walk/cough/hold it in so had to change my trousers when I got home. I also have a rash on my inner thighs - think this is from nighttime.
I have read past threads and all the advice is to do pelvic floors. But is that enough? Should I consider getting referred for physio?
You see what will probably happen is that in a few days I will get better. Go back to just having to tense when I sneeze and forget about it until next time I get a cough - I am prone to coughs though.
