The trouble was discreet, the women did not limit, they could engage in all activities. They wore inserts as a precaution, but did not shed their fluid intake and were unconcerned by the posible stench of escaping power.
Women had the most trouble after 30 weeks of gestation, the condition improved after delivery and none of the interviewees had trouble escaping after six weeks. Three women devoted themselves to rehabilitate after giving birth.
Conclusion: Pregnancy is a specific condition for a womanś body, so the changes that occur in this area can only mimic the symptoms of incontinence and hyperactive bladder. Prevention before and during pregnancy plays an important role.
Collaboration with a physical therapist is appropriate. Preventive strengthening of the pelvic floor reduces the incidence of urinary incontinence.
