Who else is having this issue? I’m 6 23 weeks pregnant and I have a cold. Everytime I cough really hard I pee a little! Is anyone else dealing with this and is this normal?

Omg yes 😂

Yessss got it bad 🤣🤣

Ok I thought it was something wrong with me!!! I have a cold and every time I cough hard I pee on myself 😭😭😭😭I feel so embarrassed and all my husband can say is is that normal bae lol

He is soooo right lol

this is my first time experiencing it. I didn’t have this with my other 3 pregnancies

Wow really? This is my second time and with my first daughter i had it bad but this pregnancy is worst lol

I'm having the same issue. My pregnancy physical therapist started kegal exercises with me. Tighten the area hold for 10 second and release. She has me doing in 20-30 repetitions a day or whenever I am just sitting around idly. Honestly it has helped to strengthen those muscles a bit and although it hasn't completely fixed the problem it has cut back on leakage drastically. ♡ Def give it a try. She says that continuing this exercise will also help with the after birth leakage when you cough laugh sneeze ect.

I’m so sorry I hope it gets better for you

I’m going to have to try this!!! Thank you 😊

Totally normal. I don't have it when I cough but I do if I sneeze hard enough

I hope the same for u dear and thank you 😊

@Jennifer I hope it helps. Keep with it like I have and it should at least lessen the frequency. Another tip she gave me was to cross my legs and squeeze the pelvis area together if you feel a hard cough or sneeze coming on. Blocking the exit route. As well as when you think you are done peeing sit there for an extra 20 seconds before getting yp because you aren't always done and the muscles down there will contract and make you think you are but alot of times if you wait more flow will happen. ♡ another lesser known fact is that People who did perineal massage and Kegels: Increased the chance of having no tearing at all from 6% to 17%. Notably reduced the risk of perineal tears that reached the anus (grade 3 and 4). Had less pelvic pain after delivery

I have a bad cough for months because of allergies and I pee almost every time..... very frustrating

I’m using Kegel exercises app and it helped a lot!

it’s irritating because I’m finding myself changing my clothes every 30 min almost. I have pads but don’t know if I should use them

I’m going to try this

Lol yes I have this

I wear panty liners every day all day because it's uncrollable.

is it a free app? If so what’s it called?

it’s called PFEI - they have free and pro version (very cheap).
