'Leaking' after bath - weird - blush!

Since giving birth 11 months ago, whenever I get out of the bath, I leak a little liquid onto the floor It doesn't feel like I'm peeing - more like the sensation of discharge dripping out - if I try to stop it I can't - but it's very much liquid - could this be bathwater, or am I in fact peeing a little without knowing it?

Same rhing happens to me when I jump into a swimming pool - when I get out there always seems to be a little pool of water around me - hhow lovely - not!

I blame the obsectrician putting her arm up there

it happened to me before kids too, maybe its to do with how long you soak for?

me
HOurs
about 20 mins in the week and an hour at weekends

I'm with Fio and Ernest - it happened far more to me in the days of long wallowy soaks than it does now with quick dips.
This is the sort of thread that I love mumsnet for

SantaFio2 · 14/12/2004 14:56

thats sorted then, it has nothing to do with having a big fanny

Um, me too and I had a c-section!

oopsanta · 14/12/2004 15:14

maybe there's a formula for it- maybe time and fanny size are involved. How much do you all leak? and how long do you stay in? It could be an interesting discussion on woman's hour

Snort!

when I typed that about blaming it on DS1 I thought "hmmm... did this happen before children or not...?" I just like to blame everything on childbirth.

oopsanta · 14/12/2004 15:16

notice it is "you all". I'm not in this group (yet)

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 14/12/2004 15:17

Does that mean you're a tight ass?

Snort!

moondog · 14/12/2004 15:20

Hence the fact that they tell you ALWAYS to wear a wetsuit if waterskiing...

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 15:20

that's a point ... i'm sure i don't get bum leakage after a bath, no matter how long the soak

oopsanta · 14/12/2004 15:22

front ass, as it were! Sadly have to go now as ds whining and grumpy ...will think of you all alter when soaking in my bath

SantaFio2 · 14/12/2004 15:23

arent there more muscles up your bum though?

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 15:24

I would think there are, although I am not in possession of the full biological facts

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 14/12/2004 15:27

How do you know where the water's coming from anyhway? Do you look?

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 15:28

I like to think I can tell the difference between bum and fanny emissions

SantaFio2 · 14/12/2004 15:30

LOL

I wish i was lean enough to try and look then again, maybe not

ThomCatsAreNotJustForXmas · 14/12/2004 15:32

no it is to do with the size of your fanny, and I don't leak! he heeee

Pagan · 14/12/2004 15:48

Bathwater - I had this even before having kids, the joys.

Relax in the knowledge that you are clean inside and out
