Do you <ahem> collect water during a bath

Is this one of those things that happens to every woman but nobody talks about.

5 minutes after a bath and its like your water just broke...

This is a thing yeah?

I think that it may be a thing ...
Either that or I recently peed myself.

DP says its not a thing. In fact his exact words were 'what the FUCK is that' whilst I was getting dry Hmm

SoThatHappened · 03/05/2016 20:17

4 DC here

Maybe the number of DC = size of waterfall.

Breaststroke swimming Blush

I have this problem after swimming!

NattyGolfJerkin · 03/05/2016 20:17

Sometimes.

It is entirely normal.

Do all of you no people swoosh around in the bath? I sit with my legs up over the edge if its too hot (visit to the gyne style)

ceeveebee · 03/05/2016 20:18

This has never happened to me. But I had c sections so perhaps that's why!

ChicRock · 03/05/2016 20:18

Yes! In fact I can sometimes squirt a significant amout of water out during my bath if I'm having a long lazy one.

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 03/05/2016 20:19

Definitely normal.

Well yes Chic, quite

I hadn't got around to mentioning that bit yet Grin

Justmuddlingalong · 03/05/2016 20:19

Yip. Usually escapes only to collect in my slippers. Blush I think that unless your DP has a vagina, he can't really comment on wether or not it's a 'thing.'

BrandNewAndImproved · 03/05/2016 20:20

I do but then I do pelvic floor exercises in the bath so maybe it's that

NeedACleverNN · 03/05/2016 20:20

Yup. I sit on a towel for a good 5-10 mins after a bath

Im guessing not ALL them women on there have had kids.

MissRabbitHasTooManyJobs · 03/05/2016 20:20

I've a very weak bladder but this has never happened to me, got me thinking why not Grin but I'm not complaining.
I unfortunately wet the bed if I have a chest infection etc, it's sooo embarrassing, pelvic floor is no more, it buggered off years ago. Sorry if tmi

NattyGolfJerkin · 03/05/2016 20:20

Sitting with your knees up/legs akimbo is going to open things up and let water in.

ByTheWishingWell · 03/05/2016 20:21

It's happened a few times, only since I had DD. The first time I was sort of tensing up all my stomach muscles and created suction, so I felt it whooshing in Shock It's happened without me noticing each time since.

Springdew · 03/05/2016 20:21

Excellent thread.

Ladybirdturd · 03/05/2016 20:22

Yep, happens every time since having dc.

FishOn · 03/05/2016 20:22

I can suck it in and push it back out ...no kids here.

It's why tampons and swimming don't work IMHO Grin
