Mothers Your Stories

Read stories from women undertaking the tough and rewarding role of motherhood, while regaining bladder control.

Dating again

Ever since I had my children I’ve had a bit of stress incontinence when I pick them up, sneeze, cough etc. Sometimes when there’s lots going on and I’m nervous or stuff, I find that it’s worse.

As the kids are now both at school, my friends and family are trying to encourage me back into the dating scene. (My ex-partner and I broke up a few years ago) But I’m a bit nervous about getting out there with my bladder weakness getting worse with I’m in a stressful situation. Never mind getting intimate again!

I’m hoping to read some stories from single mums like me, and how they are managing. At the moment I’m thinking about getting a little purse with extra pads in it and some freshening wipes. I thought I might make the purse a cute, sequin kind so I feel a bit positive about popping to the restroom on a date.

Hope to read some ideas from other ladies out there!

As the female waterworks are internal they are much more influenced by the changes within the female body.

So bladder weakness can affect women at any age and stage of their lives.
