Sudden pelvic floor probs at 12 wks PG with DC2

[kwaker5]

Pelvic floor always seemed fine after the birth of DC1 (had an emergency C-section) but about 10 weeks into 2nd pregnancy I'm leaking when I cough or throw up. I've had a really violent cough for quite a few weeks with one cold or another and the throwing up bit is usual morning sickness stuff.

Apart from doing my usual PF exercises is there much more I can do? Should I go and see my GP?

I've no idea if your GP would have anything else to suggest other than pelvic floor exercises. Have you ever been told/instructed in how to get the best from your PF exercises? A good yoga teacher might be of use.

As your only 10 weeks and have a long way to go with a lot more downward pressure, you may want to invest in a pack of Tenalady for added security.

Under no circumstances should you go trampolining or watch your favourite comedy programme in the company of your inlaws.
