Anyone else accidentally peeing when they run?

Question

Before getting pregnant with #2, I used to run 5k about 3-4 times a week. I’ve been running just the same, up until last week (20wks). I found that the faster I run, the less control I have down there. It’s become quite embarrassing.
Has anyone (esp 2nd time moms) who has done their kegals, still experience problems with bladder control?

Answer

I experienced loss of bladder control when running after my first. I worked out all through my first pregnancy and was fine. I have been running for two years now and it’s gotten a little better but still it’s a ton of work to get the smell out of my pants. I read the book “Hold it Sister” and eventually wound up scheduling a physical therapy appointment with a pelvic floor specialist. The book and my therapist is sure your muscles can be strengthened with some work. (Didn’t mention earlier but I’m 8+ pregnant with number 2). Best of luck!

Answer

Haha yeah. I peed my pants so bad the other day working out. I was doing jumping jacks and every jump pee came out. I cried.

Answer

Yes, I wear pee pads when I run and I’ve already been referred to physical therapy for my pelvic floor for after baby number two.

Answer

I personally don’t and I’m on my third (but I’ve had c sections idk if that makes a diff), but the majority of my family and friends who’ve had babies pee themselves when running or jumping so I assume itspretty normal
