Have reached that stage of pregnancy where I...

[Uffishthought]

...keep pissing myself.

Just a little bit, when I get zero warning of needing the loo, or, thanks to a mother of a cold, whenever I cough or sneeze.

36 weeks with DC2 and so fed up. I don’t remember this last time round although then I probably had actual working muscles in that area. I’m desperately trying to do pelvic floor exercises but scarcely have the energy to stand up. Didn’t expect to be buying big pads quite yet. Anyone else lost all dignity and having to do multiple washing loads a day? Please tell me this is normal.

I'm 35 weeks with DC3 and have been wearing emergency pads for weeks, after an incident where I was sitting cross legged on the floor and sneezed
Thankfully it was the kitchen floor not the carpeted lounge!
Pretty normal I think. Sometimes when I need to go I can't stand up straight because it puts too much pressure on my bladder.

Commiserations and solidarity snugas, and yes yes to hobbling like a hunched goblin to get to the loo. Time to get the incontinence pads for the bed too. Urgh, I don't feel ready for this baby but not sure I can last another month.

I feel exactly the same. When I checked my app this morning and it told me 35 days til due date I nearly had palpitations! But then my first two went two weeks over and needed inducing so I'm mentally adding that time on It's amazing how fast subsequent pregnancies seem to go when you've already got kids.
