Hi,

Unfortunately, I have some minor stress incontinence when I'm not pregnant, but only when coughing really really hard. (Anyone else have that problem?) Ever since I've been pregnant, it has gotten SOOO bad! I know I'll be back to my normal self once the baby is born, but I had no idea I was going to have such a pee problem.

I came down with some sort of virus (with possibly even a sinus infection on top of it) last week. It seems to have gone into my lungs because I have a horrible-sounding cough now. So of course that means I'm peeing my pants even more frequently now. So I've had to resort to wearing pads or just sitting on the toilet when I know I'm going to cough really hard. I have a feeling it will only get worse as the pregnancy progresses too ...yippee. The joys of pregnancy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Just felt the need to vent my issues...LOL.

Your post made me laugh. When I was pregnant with Amelia I ordered free samples of incontinence pads from walmart.com and a few other freebie sites. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

One time we drove to NYC on a hot summer night to go to a concert at Lincoln Center. After the performance I used the restroom but 15 minutes later when we finally got to the car garage, I had to go again desperately. No bathroom in sight and 7 months pregnant, I stuck an empty plastic container under my skirt and peed in it in the car. Luckily there was nobody else in the car garage right near us! DH was mad that I risked peeing in the car until I showed him the pint+ of urine that came out. He couldn't believe it.

i hear ya!!! i absoutely hate it!!! it seems to have gotten worse for me too the farther along i've gotten. if i cough or sneeze and i'm walking i will stop dead in my tracks so that i can cross my legs to help myself. i had a little bit of a problem with it before i got pregnant and now i'm like this is freaking ridilous! normally it's just a few drops, but when i'm laying down at night i find it harder to hold. so if i do know i'm going to cough hard i will sit on the toliet too, i even go as far to make sure when i sit down just to use the potty that i cough to try and help myself out. i told my mom about it and she told me it's only just going to get worse (she has the same problem-after three kids too though). she told me if i delivery by c-section to ask them to go in there and tighten those muscles up while they are in there...can they really do that? that would almost make it semi worth a c-section to have bladder control back. ya know what i mean?
