Incontinence

Body: 

I have a question about incontinence...

I find myself leaking urine at certain times. Like, after a warm bath...if I stand up I leak! I'm not sure if its because I relax in the tub, or if its the water...makes me wonder if I'll be leaking in pools.
Also, I was sick yesterday, (tmi) vomitting, thank goodness my boyfriend was at work, I was throwing up into the toilet and wet myself ALL over...and I had just cleaned the bathroom! (I was none too happy)

Anyway, is this a sign that I'll be incontinente when I am older? I know my mother has issues and uses certain pads, she says it gets worse before her period.
I'm just curious as to if this will affect me later in life...

I have learned...if I feel sick to my stomach...stay home! It would be quite embarassing to have this happen in public!

while you are in the tub you "take on water" when you stand up out it comes. Sorry you were sick- it is awful isn't it

I've had the wet myself scenario when throwing up. Albeit before I had prolapses but when I was just suffering with the stress inconintence throwing up put enourmous amounts of pressure on the bladder and it was inevitable.

As alemama suggested it may be bathwater that is coming out after your bath. With prolapses I guess our va-j-j's are more open and water collects up there!

This to me is the truly humiliating symptom.
The rest I find I can bear fairly well. Sigh.
But I realize I'm blessed with merely a cystocele.
Not a rectocele.

P.s. - I'm a seamstress/cloth maven and
I am close to creating some snap in "comforts",
I don't like the financial/land-fill aspects of the
throw-away products.

I'll keep you posted.

About water becoming trapped up there during a bath. It never happened before my prolapses...but I guess our vaginas are able to suck things up, huh? I don't mind it too much, the bath water thing. If I'm at a pool, I'm sure people will think its just water from my bathing suit.

I definitely get more incontinent when sick, I think my body is just too week to hold it in now. And around AF.

I think making a product that we don't have to throw away would be a fantastic idea.
