24+2. I pee a small amount every time I cough and/or sneeze. Normal?

I’m 24+2 today. Over the last couple of days of having a nasty cold, ive noticed that most times when I’ve coughed/sneezed, I’ve leaked a little bit of wee. Definitely wee, smells like wee and I can feel it coming out.

I’m wearing thick sanitary pads to keep it under control but it’s sooo uncomfortable. I can only imagine it’ll get worse as the weeks drag on. I’ve been doing my pelvic floor exercises throughout and it doesn’t seem as though they’ve made much of a difference.

This is my second baby, never have incontinence problems outside of pregnancy.

Totally normal in my experience I’m afraid. I didn’t have it with my first pregnancy but do with my second!

I'm 22+5 and this happens to me. I'm going to the loo regularly to try and keep my bladder empty-ish. I have also downloaded the NHS squeezy app to remind me to do my pelvic floor exercises. I've had to pause those though because of PGP.

I found myself very sadly looking at tena ladies in Sainsburys this week.

Very normal... 4 babies later and this is just ny life now 🙈🤣

At an antenatal class last week the physio said not to settle for leaking as normal because it absolutely is not normal. She said if it happened get a referral to the physio team because they can really help.
