3rd pregnancy, and I always pee when I sneeze/cough. Is there something I can do about it while pregnant?

I know pelvic floor exercises are a must but they aren’t helping. Please someone help.

Wear incontinence pads

You should be able to see a Pelvic Floor Physio who should be able to help

will they see you even during pregnancy? I feel like every concern I bring up to my midwife is always met with “yeah that’s normal”.

Pelvic floor exercises

I just was thinking today to write the same post :)

You should be able to go to a PF specialist during pregnancy and then a few wks after birth. Different exercises.

I was thinking this since I’ve been poorly. I’ve had a cold this is day 11, I have to go to the toilet just to cough hard. I’ve never had an issue before I got this cold. A few nights ago I went into a coughing fit, and when I’m pregnant coughing makes me sick, so I was trying to catch my breath as well as cough as well as being sick as I couldn’t breathe with my nose. And ended up wetting myself. I sat in the bathroom crying and my husband come in and asked what’s wrong am ok, he didn’t batter an eyelid went and got some fresh pjs and towels ready for a shower. But the embarrassment is real!!

I’ve resorted now in wearing a small panty liner. This is also my 3rd baby.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
