Have you experienced those unexpected little leaks during pregnancy or afterwards? Do you dread sneezing, coughing, laughing, or even standing up from being seated?

Is It Just Me?

Incontinence during pregnancy and post-partum is very common. Sadly, not many women seek help and feel embarrassed about it.

Well, you shouldn’t! Not seeking help could impact your social life, career, relationship, and wellbeing. It's not worth sacrificing anything out of fear of something that happens to so many women. Talk to your midwife or GP. They will find the right treatment or refer you to a physiotherapist for pelvic floor exercises. It's also worth talking to a medical professional to reduce the chance of urinary tract infections or amniotic fluid leaks.

What Can You Do?

Here are some tips to help manage incontinence during and after pregnancy:

• Cut down on caffeine.

• Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day. Don't avoid drinking, as it might lead to a urinary tract infection!

• Avoid heavy lifting.

• Consult your GP if you're constipated.

• Protect your bed with PeapodMats.

  
  

If you’re worried about incontinence when pregnant and after birth, make sure to have a good waterproof mat to protect your mattress and bedding! PeapodMats stay put even if you fidget at night, offering protection for your bed even if your waters break.

You can use them again and again to protect your bed. Smaller sizes of PeapodMats will also help to protect your sofa or armchair. And in just a couple of years, your PeapodMat will come in handy for potty training! 🙌

There's no shame in little leaks, just make sure you're protected! ❤️
