Sorry if TMI but i'm mortified

[dribbleface]

22 weeks with DS2, just sneezed and wet myself . This never happened last time, i do my pelvic exercises like a good girl.

It's gonna get worse isn't it?

Yep

Sorry

37+5 and I have a brutal cough...Tena Lady is the only way to go.

Maybe you should change your username? :)

Sadly I'm the same at 35 weeks - usually a bit dribbles down my leg on the way to the loo :(

oh god. Thanks all. Actually had a little cry about it (pathetic i know!).

Will doing more pelvic floor exercises help?

spatchcock - was waiting for someone to say that!

have the worst hayfever of my life and sneezing violently, so guess its not helping.

yes but do them properly. Really concentrate and focus to point of not being able to do anything else.

Squeeze and holds and continous (but not too fast) squeeze and releases.

If you can do something else you arent doing them properly.

That was guidance from my Women's health physio- who is wonderful :)

Thanks Gingerbreadgiraffe!

I would also suggest taking a sample to the doctors for testing, as it could also be a sign of a UTI.

However it isn't uncommon to have less control over your bladder when pregnant, I think to be honest I was shocked and also cried myself the first time, after that I expected it with every cough, sneeze, laugh so when it didn't happen it was a bonus.

Tenalady is your friend

You want to try preg no 5 with a stroppy bloody teen around who needs regular calm chastisment shouting at

NOT a good combination

Keep doing your exercises and you'll be fine!

Seeing Gp about hayfever so will get it checked then, thanks nunnie. Just bit shocked as know it happens in pregnancy but didn't have any problems last time.

thefirstMrsDevere - number 5! Oh lord, two is enough for me! Congratulations

Tena lady - and just accept for now love. It will get better after the birth

All kinds of things happen in your second pregnancy that didnt happen in your first .. [evil grin]

DC5 is one now dribble but thanks for the congrats. He is rather yummy

thefirstMrsDeVere that one comment has made it DEFINITE this child is going to be an only child. I can't even think of anything worse than what is currently been going on!

but also

Know how you feel. No problems with pg1 even with hyperemesis. But have had hyperemesis again with DC2. Ended up sitting on the toilet and puking in the bath due to pathetic pelvic floor. Was not just a dribble either - more a flood.

I know how you feel! I'm 24 weeks and it first happened 2 weeks ago! I was mortified, but now I accept it and use tena lady. Also I try to cross my legs (if in private)(bit obvious if in public, what i'm trying to do ha ha) The joys of pregnancy!

Glad to know i'm not alone.......feel a bit more sensible about it today. Just one of those things. Off to tesco for tena lady i go!
