(TMI) Wee dripping out after weeing? Hope I'm not alone...

[Kattykins]

Hello Ladies,

I am 22 weeks 1 day pregnant with my 3rd child.

Since about 16 weeks pregnant I have had a very frustrating problem, I'll go for a wee as usual, squeeze every last drop out but when I stand up & pull my underwear back up a tiny bit of wee leaks back out even though I was sure I had finished. I'm having to wear panty liners all the time now as I hate that wet knicker feeling. lol. I generally have good bladder control otherwise, never leak when I cough, sneeze or laugh.

I've been tested for UTI, thrush & other infections but all clear so it's being put down to pregnany unfortunately.

I can't remember this happening in my other 2 pregnancies.

Hope I'm not the only one with wet knicker syndrome lol (TMI)

i have had this since week 13. I found the way i fixed it is to lean as far forward as possible while peeing and i don't know if it takes the uterus pressure off the bladder or what but it clears it all out for me. If I don't do that i'll end up peeing a bit when i stand up or bend over for something.

Oh i keep having this - my late wee trips always result in a dribble that ALWAYS gets the back of my leg thought it was just me not being able to wee properly!!!

It so important as ladies to know as we get older our muscles get weeker - that said to avoid UTI's, Kidney stones, gallbladder infections etc that we completely empty our bladders. When you pee - pee more. By that do not get up until the second or even third urge passes - important even if it a little one drop.

I have this and i'm only 20 and on 1st baby!! but mine was due to my UTI
hope you get some answers, it's very annoying and i was going through knickers at an alarming rate!!

Did you get any symptoms with the UTI?

Sounds pretty normal.

Haven't a clue if this will help - but it will be good for other reasons! Join us on our quest to save foo foos at Twinminators Pelvic Floor thread!

Was just about to mention trying that

I get the same thing happening. Told to wear panty liners and keep pulling pelvic floor in, hold it ,release and repeat. I hate it mind it feels irratating.

Just bought a yoga in pregnancy dvd off ebay yesterday to help with everything. Crouched down and wet myself.

Glad I am not alone, seems to be a common problem.

I'm going to do my pelvic floors every day now leading up until birth xx

 

[Kattykins]

Anyone else been suffering?

I've had this a few times, and second one one lady said about leaning forward when you pee - apparently it helps squeeze a bit more out... before you stand up!

 

[Kattykins]

I've done the whole leaning forward, backwards, sitting for a few minutes, wiping well - it all helps but I still leak a little x
