Read stories from pregnant women managing their bladder loss.

Baby bladder pressure

When I was about 8 months pregnant with my son, I found it nearly impossible to have any bladder control. He was exerted so much pressure on my bladder that I would just drink a sip of water and I’d need to pee. And if I drank too much I’d find that I wouldn’t make it to the toilet in time.

The only thing that really helped was eating lots of fresh fruit to stop feeling thirsty. There’s plenty good water in melons, pears and the like. And but cause they are food, the need to pee wasn’t so bad.

I also wore POISE ultrathins, especially at night when I would get up to go to the toilet and sometimes not quite make it. They were still thin and comfy, but held more than the liners.
