OMG - i'm so embarassed TMI...

[BrightSparkles]

I can't believe i just did this... i just had the biggest sneeze and lost all bladder control and wet myself

I had no control over stopping it, it was just too big a gush. I've NEVER had bladder control issues and do countless pelvic floor exercises a day.

OMG - i'm so embarrassed!!! I'm hoping this isn't a regular occurance!

[~breeze~]

hun, I did it once or twice through my pregnancy with Tobias & its not a regular occurance for me so I think you're pretty safe, I think it just sometimes happens during pregnancy

[boomba]

Oh hun it happens to most people..happened to me and Dh just laughed and asked if he wanted me to get him to buy depends for me

It only happened once to me.... so hopefully it wont happen again

If it makes you feel better hun, when i was 15 i went on a date with dp we had been dating only about 4 months. he took me to a rugby club and there was a bistro. that day we had walked heaps and being summer time i think i got sun stroke so i had a big nap when we got back to his house and then as soon i woke up we went to dinner. anyways we were standing in line and i began to feel weird, my eye sight started to go funny, it got really dark i couldnt hear properly and i told dp that i didnt feel right he brushed it off and jokingly said dont pass out on me and i said i wont. I remember resting my head on his shoulder and then what seemed like an eternity i woke up on the floor.. i had collapsed in his arms and because of that i lost all control of my bladder and i peed myself.. a packed club saw what happened, some people laughed and pointed.. for a few weeks after i didnt have any control.. i peed myself again in the hospital and needed a whole new change of clothes.. another time at the mall dp made me laugh and i couldnt help it.. so im worried now that im pregnant as it can happen.

This has happened to me twice, once during each pregnancy...dont be embrassed it happens more then we think!

[Tinks]

Oh you poor thing.

Don't be embarrassed it happens to the best of us.

My sister did it in my brand new 2nd hand car the day I picked it up from the dealer

[keyarasmummy]

I also had that prob when i was preg with my son blake. Dont be embarresed i am sure it happens to lots of people

[Kazbah]

you poor thing, very embarrassing isn't it! I didn't lose it during pregnancy but after for a while, ended up having to get specialist physio ...

The things they don't warn you about being pregnant!

If it makes you feel better, I wet the bed last night DH was kinda snuggled up to me, too, so I had to try to sit straight up and roll him over onto his other side so he wouldn't roll into the puddle when I hopped out of bed... Then I realised I would have to climb over him to get out anyway (I sleep against the wall) so I had to wake him up, tell him what happened, and make him move to let me out before I could do anything about it.

Tonight I'm sleeping at my mum's so I hope it doesn't happen again lol

[tippytoes]

Hun trust me it happens to most of us! When I was about 32 weeks I had a banana milkshake (with this gross natural fruit laxative stuff in it), well I gagged on it and vomited all over myself and also wet myself for good measure! It's kind of funny, I was taking the fruit stuff to fix one pregnancy problem, but not only did it not fix the problem it created another pregnancy problem !!!!!
You just got to laugh - for me it was terrible right after the birth too, but then the ol' pelvic floor muscles begin to recover - thank goodness!

I'm not quite where you are...yet!

With DD i had IRON control, and only a littlebit of leakage for the 4-6 days after birth. I do masses of PFE's and can "stop" DH (iykwim! ) soi always thought i had great control...

Well, now i'm UTD again, and it's getting touch and go! I sometimes sneeze 2 or 3 times in a row, one right after another, and i tells ya, when that 2nd and 3rd sneeze happen it is VERY touch and GO! LOL.

Nice to know we're not alone anyway i guess...

Oh the joys of motherhood!

I had a close call on the drive home from Perth today... had my PF muscles tenses & all!! I swear I nearly peed.

[angelaartsstudent]

I did HEAPS of pelvic exercises and have a weak bladder despite all that effort. It can happen to anyone!

[Artechim]

I had terrible bladder control all through my second pregnancy. The worst incident was when I was 8 months preg and we were out on the boat, I choked on a drink and all the coughing made me wet myself. I had no spare clothes and there was no way to fix myself up so I had to sit in wee soaked pants for another two hours until we went in. I was standing with my back to the wall so DH didn't see lol. Thank goodness for black pants.

It was still bad for a couple of weeks after the birth, but all good now.

[Arimeh]

hehe... I had that too during each pregnancy - brace yourself she's gonna sneeze!! LOL

And at the moment, if I just think about going to the toilet and get there two seconds too late - I've peed myself.. LOL

I think it was about 2 or 3 days after giving birth, I turned the shower on and I was still dressed outside it, and just lost all control - nothing was going to stop that flood. Poor DH - I was wearing his undies AND his pants at the time.. bwahahahah

Its only slightly better now - so I'm hoping that the next few weeks bring back my pelvic floor muscles!!

[Mrs McAwesome]

hahahah it has now happened to me 3 times and i have strong pelvic floor muscles. Once at night I wet the bed.
Second time was when I was on the phone to a friend and just held it like I would normally do only it didn't hold lol
Third time was when I was vomiting late at night

It's safe to say I am now learning from these and under no circumstances can a pregnant woman attempt to hold it.. lol

My DH thinks it's extremely funny and tells all his mates... luckily I am good friends with most of them..lol
