Oh the shame - just piddled in public. Please tell me it's happened to you to make me feel better

[Pagan]

At almost full term, all it takes is a lean to one side or a wiggle from junior and I can do nothing to stop it. Been wearing sanitary towels for weeks but this time it just was too much and leaked everywhere and I had to drive home with a big wet bum. Don't think anyone saw as I was getting DD into the car at the time. Still feel mortifyingly embarrassed though!

Sorry to be graphic - but tell me I'm not the only one who is so incontinent!

Carry an All Terrain Urine Director about with you - bought one at glastonbury last year. most useful...

Won't stop you wetting yourself, but at least youcan go with a modicum of privacy...

Blush, agree, see your gp, I know someone whose pelvic floor was so damaged after childbirth that she had this problem. I know she went to various clinics but I don't know if it sorted anythig, sorry, not in touch with her now.
at this thread.

just dreadful...I still have nightmares about all those policemen watching me pull my pants down on CCTV

bush, I'm sure this is far more common that you think. You must go to your GP - there may be a simple explanation for it. Here's the bupa factsheet - there seem to be loads of things they can test for.

incontinence in women

That's what I thought you'd all say - but I just CAn't admit to this in rl. And I'm ROFL at this whole thread! (pmsl would be more apt but I cringe at that expression)

And huge thanks for the advice and links. Will think about the GP visit - I know I ought to.

I've got up and screamed blue murder at some horrible scary thing (spider!!!!) and peed myself silly...I was about 6 months gone at the time and thankfully I was all on my own...yay! This thread is hilarious, you poor poor people! I also wet myself as a kid and it haunts me to this day! I was about 8 and I was having a veruca/wart thing frozen off my toe and I was so so scared of the freezing thing and the nurse that I weed all over the examining table and then I refused to get up because I was so ashamed! ... blush I hope you get the help you need, it must be really awful!

I don't remember ever peeing in public... but I used to have to be sick in all sorts of public places. And I had to spit all the time even when I wasn't being sick, I never looked around. Didn't want to know who had seen me.

I have to be careful I don't do it now. I have to cross my legs when I sneeze or cough. I'm not PG

Oh cloudy you reminded me of the burger king incident! Oh ewww.... I was about 8 months gone and I couldn't help myself.... I shovelled loads of fries 2 burgers and about 2 cokes down my neck...then I took a very bumpy bus home....got off, told my DH I felt a bit ill and basically exploded into the road and hit a passing car!!!! The shaaaame ...Durng my pregnancy I was sick constantly, anywhere, everywhere...I had to take plastic bags with me! It's horrible being a mum sometimes isn't it!

Only in 2nd term and dh played a not-so-funny joke on me. I screamed and peed all over the kitchen floor!

I'm going to die of shame if exerpts from this thread end up on the homepage...or worse; in the Guardian!! The thought!

Guardian???? Homepage??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK! Please reassure me someone!!!!! I'd DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE of embarrassment!!!!!

LOL at these!!! It doesn't get an awful lot better post-pregnancy either.....

Crossing my legs didn't help the other morning. I was standing at the sink washing the breakfast dishes in DH's dressing gown (mine doesn't fit anymore) when I piddled again and crossing my legs only meant it ended up pooling in my nice new slippers.

Pagan!! I was at aerobics on Monday night and we had to do jumping jacks - discovered rapidly that my pelvic floor is definately not as it should be! (And my youngest is nearly 4!)

Ds is 17 months and I have finally graduated to (mostly) dry sneezes

One of my post natal group friends told us that she wore a nappy inside her pants because she kept wetting herself.

So no you are not the only one

Right, I'm off to buy some TENA shares asap.

Have nearly had an accident myself lauging at these stories.A friend & I went out last night,she is 25 wks pregnant,I am 21 wks.We were laughing so much on the drive home that I thought I'd be mopping up wee from the car seats.We both have had a horrible cough/cold virus recently & lost control whilst coughing..

Note to self-must do pelvic floor exercises

My barking MIL was out pram pushing not long after having dh - desperate for a wee, so went behind a hedge, crouched down, and mid flow looked up to see a (full) double decker bus pull up on the other side of the hedge. What else could she do - but wave?!!

Bloody priceless thread. Not LOL for so long - brilliant!!

I was out with dh once, driving through Cheddar Gorge, and needed desperately to pee. Having done the deed behind a bush just up the hill a bit I slipped and tumbled down the hillside, eventually coming to a halt in a thorn bush. My shrieks alerted dh who had to extricate me from the thorns whilst convulsed with laughter at my predicament - as I imagine were most of the many tourists driving by who were seeing more than they'd reckoned on when they'd set out!! My tights were shredded to pieces and I had to make up excuses about all the scratches I had, for a couple of weeks!

Oh, what a great thread.

me and my sister, this summer - on nieces' new trampoline, bouncing up and down and both wetting our knickers.
Then collapsing in hysterics in urine sodden heap.

I have to ask a question to all teh "dribblers" - does it not have some rather horrid effect on your knickers?
