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?
