Leaking when I cough or sneeze

[Anonymous]

I am 9 month pp and I leak a little urine when I cough or sneeze. Its nothing huge, no wet pants or anything, but definitely uncomfortable for me and a bad thing. Is this bc I am pp? Anyone else have experience with this? Any ideas?

sad fact of life unfortunately - panty liners help

It is indeed a sad fact of post partum lady bits.
This is why so many elderly women wear depends.
Do your kegels, hope for the best, wear your panty liners.

Normal. Kegels.

Don't worry!!!! Yes, totally normal, still incredibly frustrating! However, at 2 years PP with #2 I have finally stopped leaking. Good luck!

If it's bothersome, consult a urogynecologist ... there are remedies available !!!

Panty liners and KEGELS ALL THE TIME. Google Kegels to learn how. I do them at every red light... while on the phone... while brushing my teeth... You will thank yourself in a few decades, believe me (I've worked with elderly women and geriatric-care nurses... it's GOOD to get in the habit now).

it's also key to cross your legs when sneezing.

Yep, it's something most don't talk about (not counting DCUM ). Trust me, you're not alone.

Kegels do help - or so I noticed personally speaking.

What a timely post. Last night I peed my pants about 20 times, no joke, because I had a significant allergy-sneezing event.

thank you to the PPs who work with the elderly and reminded us to get started with kegels yesterday.
