Hi everyone!
It's a bit of an embarassing question what I want to ask, but I just thought anyone who went through the same problem as I am having now might be able to give me some advice, or knowledge about whether this will get better!
I'm in the last few weeks of my pregnancy now (36 weeks today!) and for the past 2 months I have had a big problem with "leaking" and loss of bladder control I know lots of people gets this, but mine is quite more extreme than usual according to my MW, who thinks it's worse because I am overweight. It's got to the point now where I just seem to be leaking and having accidents all the time (even just from standing up or Braxton Hicks contraction, or just because I "can't hold on"!) and I have to wear a pad all the time cos the pantyliner isn't enough.
Obviously it's the last thing I worry about now - because we all know this last weeks are not comfortable and the only thing I am caring about is when I will get to see my little girl! But I was wondering if this problem is ever going to go away post-pregnancy? Will it get better after the birth? Are there going to be things I can do to help it?
I know it probably sounds quite silly, but I am only 21 and I don't wanna be leaking for rest of my life!
I would be really thankful for any advices!
Best,
Danuta xx
