I have no idea if DH notices, lol I really hope not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732906 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 15:41:26 +0000 Smurfette 732906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: @Dandelion: oh I fart more now then I ever have. Especially in the middle of the night. So glad that it doesn't wake up DH. At least he hasn't said if it does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732858 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:43:05 +0000 aprk 732858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: yep! My midwife said its "normal" but it makes me feel ridiculous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732851 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:30:20 +0000 Dandelion 732851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: yeah, I have the #2 problem, too...I also can't seem to contain it when I need to pass gas, which is really embarrassing at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732843 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:24:24 +0000 aprk 732843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bladder control got better about 2 weeks pp, but it's still tough to stop the stream. Honestly, I have a worse problem with #2 - I can't tell when I have to go until it's aaaaalmost too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732841 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:16:11 +0000 pl0508 732841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: no its like a kegel trainer haha it tells you when to squeeze and let go ! Search kegel trainer the icon is pink ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732839 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:13:06 +0000 Smurfette 732839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: there is an app for that??

Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732827 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:51:53 +0000 blackbird 732827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123, genius! I always remember to do them while laying in bed, which seems to be the most comfortable, anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732821 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:47:21 +0000 pl0508 732821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh so fun. Mine got better at about 4 weeks but I still can't hold it very long. I am horrible at kegels. I downloaded a kegel app that reminds me to do them haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732812 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:44:07 +0000 Smurfette 732812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah I am still wearing a small pad just in case. Bleeding is gone just for my bladder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732808 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:41:57 +0000 blackbird 732808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, whew, so it'll take a bit longer. I haven't had any issues coughing or sneezing (other than a sort of uncomfortable pressure down there), but once i start going, i cannot stop!</p> <p>There is seriously nothing more depressing than ALMOST making it to the toilet and realizing you can't stop it. Thank goodness for giant pads :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732804 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:39:30 +0000 Dandelion 732804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to @Smurfette: I'm at 6 weeks, and the only issues I really have are when I sneeze or cough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732798 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:34:49 +0000 Smurfette 732798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like mine got better at 4 weeks but at 6 weeks I am still not back to normal. I still have some slips sometimes where I just make it to the toilet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regaining-bladder-control#post-732793 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:33:06 +0000 blackbird 732793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, fun stuff. </p> <p>How long did it take you to regain bladder control post partum? I've been doing the kegels like the nurses said to, but if my bladder gets too full, I cannot stop myself from peeing (thankfully I haven't peed myself since about 2 days post partum. Nice, huh?). So i'm always making sure I go as soon as I can to avoid any embarrassing mishaps. </p> <p>I still cannot stop urine mid-stream, so I know my muscles aren't strong yet. Wondering how long it'll take!.... </p>
