No bladder control when I vomit

[pookel]

I hate posting this because it's so TMI ... but it really sucks!

My bladder control has been weaker since I had my son (via c-section, but I guess that still doesn't avoid the problem), but I'm usually OK. I cross my legs before I sneeze, just in case, but I haven'g had any accidents.

But now I'm pregnant again, and I've had pretty bad morning sickness, and every time I throw up ... whoosh! Literally. Everything comes out.

Any advice, besides "use the bathroom before you puke" and "put down a towel first"? :loveeyes: That's basically what I'm doing now ...

I have the same poblem. I've taken to keeping a bowl in the bathroom so I can sit on the toilet while I puke into the bowl.

I came to this solution after WAY too many accidents!

I really don't have many suggestions....are sanitary pads out of the questions? I am just sorry that you are so sick!

Me too. I haven't had any vomiting since the first trimester but now sneezing poses a problem at times :wink

Oh yeah, totally with ya. I had that problem with my third pregnancy. So far with this one I haven't actually vomited, just nauseated. I just kept a towel under me or threw up into a plastic grocery bag and sat on the toilet.
Sorry your so sick mama! I hope you feel much better very soon! Do some kegel exercises - they do help :)

I think in the long term Kegels would help some, although not soon enough for the morning sickness! Sorry :(

Reading this thread just makes me think "Ahh, the joys of motherhood!":lol

The bowl is a great idea, why didn't I think of that? Duh! Thanks. :)

I've been peeing when I laugh. Lack of control sucks! I would use a bucket to puke and sit on the toilet in the short term. Long term, I am trying to remember my Kegels (hey, I'm doing them now! :wink ).

I've had pneumonia and been coughing for weeks. Infant cloth diapers and inserts have been my friend. This has led to ds being a bit confused -- "no mama diaper", but it has saved me.

I found my bladder control improved HEAPS after doing pilates for a little while. Its all that core strengthening they are into... I found it really different to yoga in that respect.

Once at work I was sitting in front of a room of people and needed to sneeze. Now I knew I could make it through one sneeze, but it was the second and third that got me.... OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I'm sooooooo glad I was wearing a skirt that day.... this was pre-pilates.
