Bladder control problems

After giving birth, women can experience bladder control changes. A sneeze, cough, or laugh, can produce a “whoops” moment. Sometimes, people feel a strong urge to pee and have a very short time to run to the bathroom.

Some women report knowing where every single bathroom in their area is located. They pack extra clothing ‘just in case’.

Are you anxious about going out, or not knowing where the next bathroom will be?

So happy to see families out moving, laughing, and enjoying this beautiful weather safely and kindly! And great to see folks in the Gorge Waterway. Also awesome to run into @sarahkaragianis and pack. Here Sarah is being a gracious dock host, proving that the water isn't too cold to relish, and demonstrating the underwater breaststroke. Wonderful to run into you again at the park. We look forward to dining in soon at Spinnakers Brew Pub!
