Every time I cough

LondonToSavannah · January 2016

I pee a little. And I have a chest infection, so it is happening a lot...

that is all

Totally normal. I forget who, but someone here coined the word "snissing" (sneeze pissing). I sniss several times a week! Lol

Yup, I am super sick right now. My cough is pretty bad , it doesnt happen EVERY time I cough, but the rough ones I pee myself a little bit. LOL good times.

If this awful cold doesn't go away soon I'm going to just start buying new underwear. I'm tired of peeing my pants and having to do a bunch of laundry. I hate snissing..

Me too. Coughing, sneezing and throwing up have all lead to me peeing.

I am in this club, although I don't want to be a member!

Soontobejones33 · January 2016

I wish it was pee. I can't cough well without throwing up. ...okay I don't really wish to pee myself (please don't hurt me pregnancy karma). I would prefer the absence of both thank you.

Same here! I've thrown up over six times today. I've pretty much put myself on a liquid diet until my cold is over.

durbie92 · January 2016

I'm now keeping spare pants and underwear at work.....and pantyliners. Sigh. Snissing-hilarious word!

Unicorn522 · January 2016

I've probably peed my pants more than a dozen times in the past month from coughing and sneezing. It's a great time...

You're lucky. I'm just leaking to leak.

I was just wondering if this is normal! It happened to me today and I was like WTF?!?

doozer1345 · January 2016

Said no pg woman ever.

lalala2004 · January 2016

Kegels are supposed to help, right?

bkjade · January 2016

I DO SO MANY KEGELS!

nerdymama15 · January 2016

One word: Poise.
They are a lifesaver! They aren't all big and bulky they have thinner versions. They are thicker than a pantyliner but depending upon the size you get they can also just be as thin as a regular pad but a lot more absorbent.. Not to be too tmi, but I leaked a little already before getting pregnant so I always wear something anyway so it doesn't feel much different to me. It sure beats having to change underwear or snissing in public.

Pascal86 · January 2016

I'm borderline - have to use some significant control to keep it from happening. I told my husband that I almost pee every time I sneeze today and he looked so alarmed. I enjoyed that part.

codeeye · January 2016

I'm super glad to not be a member of the peeing yourself club yet. I do however throw up every time I sneeze so that's super fun to deal with, especially at work. I scared a patient once because I sneezed and immediately went for my garbage can. They asked if I was sick and I said "no, just pregnant" haha

If Lisa Rinna can rock them, then so can we!

Last time toward the end of my pregnancy I swore to my doctor I was leaking fluid. She did that swab test and was like you totally are - urine. Cool, so you're saying I thought I was in the early stages of labor but I was actually peeing my pants slowly? Thank god it hasn't happened yet but it started around 36/37 weeks last time and was awful.

doozer1345 · January 2016

@Bltbear82 Didn't you feel so attractive? lol

wamam027 · January 2016

My husband absolutely loves the fact that I pee almost every time I cough, sneeze, make any sudden movements. Whenever I cough or sneeze he stops what he's doing and asks "DID YOU PEE?!" As if it's some type of entertainment. What a jerk!

Edited to add: the other night we went to go see the movie Sisters. My sister and I wanted to see it together but we moved cross country before it came out. She text me to say "let me know if you pee your pants from laughing at the movie, I know you pee really easily and I want to hear about it if you do!!". Gah.

Bltbear82 · January 2016

@doozer1345 super hot. DH was desperately trying not to laugh since it is pretty funny if it isn't you, and I swore it was definitely amniotic fluid!

doozer1345 · January 2016

@bltbear82 I didn't have it with DD but do this time and understand your thinking for sure!

Sharra13 · January 2016

Ugh. Member of the club! Every time I sneeze, unless I concentrate really really hard! Panty liners are becoming part of my daily outfits...

avalentine81 · January 2016

Unfortunately this is my life, I cross my legs really tight when I know a sneeze is coming, lol. I can only imagine what T3 will bring.

Anyone doing kegels? A friend of mine told me the other day she did a ton while pregnant and she thought it really helped her in labor. It occurred to me that stronger muscles down there might help with the incontinence, too?

I've tried doing kegels to no avail. No matter how often I do them I still pee every time I sneeze.

This. I'm still doing them just in case it may help over time, but these bladder kicks are really doing me in with the little leaks, and coughing/sneezing hard does it too.

I did kegels, pelvic tilts and basically anything that remotely sounded like it might help and still had it happen. But it didn't happen after delivery at all and I had a textbook labor, so I've been doing it all again just hoping it was the way DS was positioned late 3rd tri.

lbachran · January 2016

I second the poster who advised using Poise pads. They're more absorbent than a standard panty liner and better equipped to handle a quick burst of fluid rather than a slow menstrual flow. I had acute bronchitis for 3 months of this pregnancy and by week 3, bladder control just wasn't happening anymore. They're really not noticeable after a little while and it beats urinating on your clothes, furniture or bed.
