Momma never told me . . . I'd pee on myself

multiple times! Ok, so this may be TMI and too personal, but what's the point of this blog if not to share all the things no one wants to talk about. I had gotten used to some leaking during pregnancy. It was especially bad towards the end. Every sneeze and cough was a new adventure. Thankfully panty liners did the trick at keeping those leaks under control from the public eye. I figured one the baby was out and off my bladder all would be right with that part of the world again. Boy was I wrong. Not only was it not better, I am pretty sure it was worse! My first real discovery of this was once I got home. It had only been a day or two and I needed to pee but also clean up everything below. As I was preparing the water bottle to clean my bottom side, I felt a warm stream oozing down my leg. I had on a big hospital pad, but there was no stopping this. When I felt myself soaking wet and saw the puddle on the bathroom floor, that was the moment I realized I had NO bladder control. A few days after that, I had a busy afternoon running around with my husband and new son. We had to get our wills signed then go to baby's first check up. I didn't even think about going to the bathroom. As we left the doctor's office (that visit is a whole other post!) baby was fussing his little head off. As we got into the elevator I bent down to comfort him and it happened again. That warm wet feeling was taking over. No warning and no ability to stop it. I looked at my husband and told him what just happened. His ever so supportive response was "Gross!" followed by laughing at me and asking if I had something I could sit on so I wouldn't get it all over his car seat. I suppose the moral of this story is to go frequently whether you think you need to or not.Either that, or invest in some adult diapers after having a baby. On a positive note, I haven't peed all over myself again, but there is still some leaking with coughs and sneezes. I am not sure what I look forward to more, losing the baby weight or regaining full bladder control.
