Apparently I have a dodgy bladder. It's very common and is basically the bladder contracting when there is the tiniest amount of urine in it meaning I want to wee all the time and sometimes just wet myself and have no control over it.
The bladder retraining involves drinking lots more water (great ) to expand it and dilute the urine.
Anyway, I've been trying this for a few months now without much success. It's unsurprisinly worse when I'm constipated.
I was put on a tablet that seemed to work but it made me too sleepy thus too grumpy coz I was tired all the time.
Anyway weird thing was, I had a whole weekend away which involved a long drive (5 hours) there and back to a friends and never once had a problem. Didn't even need to stop for the loo.
I'm convinced it's to do with anxiety and generally having no me time with two 'full-on' kids around.
Just wondering if anyone has gone through this with any success???
God I hope no-one actually knows me in real life
