Stress urinary incontinence

Do other moms have a hard time holding their pee in while sneezing, laughing or coughing?

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and so tired of this :( I’ve been using pads to catch the spurts but I noticed that I’m starting to bleed because of those pads and possibly catch a yeast infection.

Wondering how you coped with this.

Practice your kegals, if not doing so already.
Try to get unfragranced pads, change pads often ( i was using panty liners changing every 2-3hrs even if no leakage).
Cotton underwear in bigger sizes to let air circulate help with the yeast infections.
Have you had the bleeding checked?

If you can try not to wear overnight, I found that helped when I had yeast infection, to let myself air wherever i could... use the disposable waterproof mats under you and get a waterproof mattress protector. Could put down a towel under you too if wanted.

I would go see a pelvic floor therapist. Doing things like kegals arent helpful. You need to see someone that can help your specific issue.

Planned C-section date

Hi everyone
I’m having a planned C due to some health complications of my own, I’ve had the date set but it’s only 6 days before my due date. I’ve read up and it says normally it’s at least two weeks before in case baby starts to come naturally.

Just wanted to check on here and see how far in advance yours are from your due dates. Thinking I might go back and tell them I need it to be moved forward?

Thanks everyone 🥰
(And best of luck for yours!)

Anyone else fed up ?

Finished work 3 weeks ago… so bored now waiting for baby. Due date is Thursday. Its dragging now 😬

Having Anxiety

I found out a few days ago that I’m pregnant. I’m ecstatic about it and excited to finally be on this journey. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years. Now that it’s happening, I keep feeling anxious that it’s not actually happening…you know? Like the 3 tests I’ve taken and were all positive were all fake positives or something. Has anyone else felt like that? I’m 4 1/2 weeks right now and I know it’s very early. I guess I’m just anxious that I’m imaging it all.

Anxiety is hiiiigh

I’m 32 weeks first time mom and all I can do is think about how it will be after I have my baby. It’s surreal because i never thought I would have a baby….now I’m close to the finish line and can’t stop thinking about every little thing. Plus I’m nervous about labor. I don’t sleep that much at night because I’m up thinking too much. Help 😑😭

Body embarrassment 😭

I am super conscious and embarrassed by my belly shape.

I'm 33+2 weeks with twins, and I'm fine with my actual bump which is the high bit, and actually considered small for twins, but I have the biggest 'pouch' or 'overhang' belly underneath.

For context, I was a size 8 before pregnancy, but have previously been upto an 18-20 at my worst, so my body is a massive insecurity for me. My legs and bum are also ugly to me. All I can think about is how im missing out not having a maternity shoot, and how the hell I'm going to loose it afterwards.

Ugh 🙄

So my birthday is tomorrow. We already booked an Airbnb for two nights. I planned to go get some toys and have amazing sex. But now my period is on and ladies I'm so angry right now!!! My period comes on when it wants to and I was hoping it waited until after. I just needed to vent, I mean its not the end of the world but still. This shit sucks 😒💔💔💔
