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?

But because pelvic health functions include: bladder, bowels, babies – pregnancy and post delivery, pelvic pain and sometimes intercourse, pelvic health is a topic that can be of deep discomfort for many. There is shame, and hesitance to talk about many common pelvic health challenges.

“There was a moment in the half marathon, when I looked up and saw a sign that read ‘put your hand if you peed yourself,’ and I put my hand up! And I wasn’t the only one.”
