What can you do about loss of bladder control during intercourse? I'm 24 weeks and just began experiencing this. I do kegels every day........is there anything else I can do? My bf is not into golden showers!

During pregnancy your pelvic floor muscles are put under a lot of strain. They support the weight of your uterus, your growing baby, and your intestines. During childbirth the pelvic floor muscles help baby negotiate the pelvic bones and guide baby through the vagina. In addition all the lovely homrones that surge through a womans body during pregnancy soften the pelvic floor muscles so that they are more flexible for the birthing process.
So, "pregnancy and childbirth can cause the pelvic muscles to weaken. When these muscles weaken, your bladder may move downward, pushing slightly out of the bottom of the pelvis toward the vagina. This prevents muscles that normally force the urethra shut from squeezing as tightly as they should. As a result, urine can leak into the urethra during moments of physical stress – like laughing, sneezing and coughing.

There are varying degrees of the problem but most women will only excrete a thimbleful of urine. Very few women will ever experience the unwanted leap into full blown watersports (that's where couples include urination as part of their love making, in case you're wondering).
Urinating during sex is generally caused by nerves in the bladder telling your brain that it's time to go to the toilet even when you don't need to or obviously particularly want to.
Fortunately, in most cases the problem can be solved by taking a few simple precautions. Firstly, don't drink too much in the hours leading up to sex, particularly tea, coffee and alcohol. Secondly, if possible, got to the toilet immediately before you get between the sheets. And thirdly, try to avoid sexual positions where you feel the most pressure on your bladder.
However, if these tips are not sufficient you can ask your local doctor for incontinence medication which can be taken just before sex to guarantee a night of excitement and passion rather than one of embarrassment and self consciousness.

I'm sorry to say there isn't much you can do. Kegels should help, but the baby is sitting right on your bladder and probably pushing it out. Once you have the baby, things should go back to normal. But while you are pregnant, nothing you can do about it.

LMAO I am NOT being insensitive by any means, but that is soo funny. The only reason I find this funny is because I have had to wash my bedspread 4 times this pregnancy due to peeing all over it. I'm 30 weeks and I've had this happen to me. It's my 3rd baby and it scares the p*ss out of me...Literally...lol
Your bladder is relaxed and it's hard to get it under control. Good news, everything should get back to normal after the baby is born. Remember to do your kegals. If you have a hard time remembering or you don't like to do them for a long period of time, try ben wa balls. They are the BEST!

Don't know how experimental you are, but you could do it in the shower, just make sure you're careful and you do it in a way that you're not going to slip. It can be a very erotic experience and that's where we always did it if "aunt flow" was visiting(embarassing i know). Eventually that wasn't so erotic and exciting anymore so we tried a suggestion from a magazine and did it in the shower with the lights off.... wow! You could always just experiment with different positions and different depths of penetration, but that's not quite so exciting now is it?

Okay...2 yesterday, I had my jab done, and I fainted after, I did not eat enough breakfast, so I was in maths and I started crying in front of everyone, then ran out the room like I was gonna puke.. I did gag..the gag made a HORRIFIC noise, and it was so loud, so everyone could hear..I then sat on a chair and fainted, the I work up on the floor in student services! I was fine after that, then I went back to class and was fine! Then a few hours later, everyone was talking about it, and making impressions of me throwing up, people were questioning me, and then, today, I overheard someone talking about me

my wife had the exact problem. she would go to the restroom, take a warm shower, go to the restroom, and then we would be able to do that with out any leaks. Kinda of annoying if your the spontanous person as i am and my wife well hope it helps a little

i'd suggest trying as many different positions you can think of till that stops happening. hes more likely pressing up against your bladder with his penis and its putting more added pressure.

well lol it is a pretty weird question but what i can suggest is go to the loo before you have sex and if you need to stop and go to the loo 1/2 way through. i feel sympathy for your bf.
