Women- Does this happen to you when you swim?

I swim. I have fun. I feel fine.

When I get out of the pool, I’m absolutely fine. Once I’m dry, have clothes on and an hour later, it’s like my waters are breaking. I sit in a different position and it all comes gushing out, like I’ve wet myself.

It’s like my cavernous fanny has sucked up the pool water like a straw and harboured it until the most embarrassing moment.

I now do some pretty odd things, including going to the loo after wards, popping my fingers in and sort of pushing everything out the way so the water can come out.

If I don’t, even if I sit poolside in my swimming suit….a wee while later, it all comes gushing out like I’ve wet myself.

Does this happen to other women? I’m 5’3 inches and had 2 natural births…. but… I don’t think my fanny and hole are particularly big.

AIBU- is this a ‘thing’ (reasonable) or not and I’m really weird (unreasonable)

Evening all, we've had a lot of reports about this thread and it was hidden while we checked behind the scenes. We've now done that and can see that the OP has been with us a fair while and hasn't given us any cause for concern, so we're happy for the thread to continue as it is.
