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’.
