I’m posting this anonymously for a very good reason. I’m super embarrassed about one of my pregnancy symptoms, and I need some reassurance or answers. Ok, so, since Christmas, I have had this super unfortunate thing happen that has never happened to me before in my life. I cannot stop wetting myself. I have to wear these thick bladder leak pads 24/7. It’s as though my bladder 1. Is never fully empty, 2. Is constantly getting kicked or squished, and 3. Cannot be controlled...at all. I will literally sit on the toilet for 5 minutes, stand up, and start going again as though I have not just been going.

I have gone to the OB for advice and to test to make sure I didn’t have an infection and to make sure it wasn’t amniotic fluid. She says there is no blood, no trace of amniotic fluid, or any bad protein in the results. She doesn’t seem concerned at all, which annoys me slightly, but it is literally ruling my life right now. To be fair, I am drinking a lot of water during the day, but it isn’t any more than I would have consumed if I wasn’t pregnant. This is way more often than when I laugh or sneeze; it can happen when I walk or bend over or am relaxed. Also, want to point out that it doesn’t happen all the time, but some days are worse than others. I feel like I’m constantly “holding it in” and I do kiegles.

To be noted, I’m around 28 weeks with di/di twins.

Has anyone had this level of incontinence when pregnant with twins?

Y’all have made me feel SO much better. Thank you so much to everyone who has replied!
