Oh my goodness lack of bladder control!

fernie3 · Feb 5th, 2010, 06:17 AM

I am 14 weeks with my fourth and still being sick BUT lately when Iam sick a bit *whispers* wee leaks out..

this has never happened before! please tell me I am not destined to bein nappies for the rest of my life!, it only happens when I am sick.

does anyone else have this problem? is it because this is my fourth baby??

I hope we're not destined to be in nappies forever because this is my first baby and the exact same thing happens to me when I am sick!!!

I think for me I'm so violently sick, nothing stands a chance and also noticed at my last scan that although id just emptied my bladder before we went in the sonographer pointed out that my bladder was still full so I reckon its not really emptying properly maybe because of the position its in or the longer ureters therefore there's always something in there to be expelled so to speak.

Hope this is common!!

I was wondering about it not emptying properly because I always try and go to the toilet when I feel sick but it still happens. Ok I am panicking a little less now lol.

This is my first baby and a few wks ago I had real problems, whenever I coughed or sneezed I would dribble! I sometimes wear pantyliners just to feel a bit more secure but doing my pelvic floors have helped. Spoke to Doc/MW/Hospital MW and they all said it's so common. It's down to a hormone called Relaxin or something which makes everything relax and soften. Oh the joys of being a woman/pregnant!

This is totally normal though xx

Thank you, its good to know I'm not alone. Its not something I feel I can bring up with my friends that have got kids in case they look at me in horror and say no that never happened to me! lol

The joys indeed.
