Well I have an anxiety disorder and been anxious about all the worst case scenarios for after birth including long-term stress incontinence. I'm 24 and have been doing pelvic floor exercises since I found out I was pregnant, but probably only a few times a week so not as much as I should, and I'm now 35 weeks. Yesterday I did two massive sneezes, and both times a very small amount of urine leaked out. I am really anxious about this as it's one of my worst fears and I thought it wouldn't be something I'd have to face until after giving birth at least! I have seen some research suggests you're more likely to struggle with longer-term stress incontinence post-birth if you developed it during pregnancy itself. I don't know what to do except increasing the frequency of my pelvic floor exercises and am terrified that it will continue or even get worse
.
Any reassurance much appreciated. Should I mention this to midwife tomorrow or is there no point?
