I have researched and read on dozens of websites and pregnancy books about things to expect when pregnant. I've read about icky stuff that happens to a pregnant woman that she has no conrol over. Heartburn, flatulance, queaziness, food aversions, etc. etc. However, I have yet to read anything as disgusting as what has happened to me twice already.
Uncontrolled urination. Yes. I've peed on myself accidently, twice! So far. That's right, so far. I have no doubt that I will pee on myself more times to come. Both times happened the same way.
Since my second trimester, I learned to empty my bladder before leaving work. Since my commute home is pretty long and the MetroNorth train bathrooms are pretty disgusting, I don't want to have to use their facitlies if I don't have to. I'm usually good until I get home. So, as I got off the train to walk to the car, I had to cough. As I approached the car, I let out a hearty cough, next thing I know, I felt wetness half way down my thigh. I looked down, my beige pants had 2 thin streams of water running down my thigh. I was horrified. How can it happen so quickly? The pee didn't trickle. It shot out of me, straight through my underwear, and went half way down my leg. The second time happened the same way, just 5 days later. Instead of a cough, it was a sneeze. But the resulting stream went just as far. My only consolation was that the car was only about 20 feet away and I can seek refuge in there without people knowing I peed on myself.
