Swimming and Bathing

Body: 

Sorry, just realised the post I put under "Pelvic Health" should go here instead ....

Hi there ladies,

I'm still pretty new to this site but have been trying to learn as much as I can by reading over some of the older posts.

I'm wanting to try for baby number two in a couple of months but I'm still scared about my prolapse worsening. It's inspiring to come here.

Anyway, I have a question regarding swimming and being in the water. I love baths, swimming, going to the beach with my toddler but afterwards I feel extremely uncomfortable. We went to Noosa for a week. We went to the beach and swam in the pool every day but I was in tears by the end of the holiday because I was urinating constantly and could barely walk I felt so heavy. Some days I had fluid dripping out of me for a while after coming out of the water (assuming it was from the water I was immersed in).

I love doing this kind of thing with my family and I love to swim, have baths etc but I'm unsure as to why I feel so awful afterwards. Usually I feel a bit of a bulge but not much and I don't have incontinence issues. Does anyone know why this is and, more importantly, if I can do anything to try and improve it?? I read something, sometime (can't remember where) that if you have a weak pelvic floor water gets trapped and therefore leaks out afterwards??
