Sneezing and all that goes with it

For years, PapaBear has told me that I'm going to explode my eardrums if I don't change my sneezing technique. In attempt to be dainty, he says that I hold in the pressure. Naturally, I ignore him.

In my pregnant state, I discovered recently that sneezing and "holding in the pressure" are no longer compatible. But it is not the pressure in my head that is the issue. It's a little lower down.

In recent weeks, I have sneezed and wet my pants. That's right. Wet my pants. The floodgates did not open, but I definitely had to change my clothes. I have never seen PapaBear laugh with such abandon and utter lack of control.

When the ultrasound technician commented on how BabyBear likes snuggling up to my bladder, she was correct. I can only imagine what awaits when the little one starts treating my bladder like a soccer ball.

Do they make Depends for moms-to-be? If not, I'll just keep doing my kegels.

More bad news: it doesn't go away. The same thing happened to me last week and my dd was born over 3 years ago!
