Help!! I'm finally back on track with running (the morning sickness has subsided, hurrah!) but now have to pee basically every 1/2 - 1 mile and I'm so frustrated. Not to mention the indigestion I keep getting. It's not heartburn, just have to go to #2 quite a lot. Sorry for the TMI. Do any of you running ladies have these problems?
My doctor said the incontinence isn't due to the baby pushing since I'm only 20 weeks in. He said it's because I'm producing more blood for the baby, and therefore my kidneys have to process a lot more wastewater, aka urine.
Any advice or suggestions? Does the incontinence ever go away? Thanks everyone!
Re: Running, incontinence, and indigestion
There is also nothing wrong with switching to a different kind of exercise during pregnancy. Swimming, weights, walking, yoga are all lower impact and will at least take the bouncing out of the equation for your bladder.
