Stress incontinence and pregnancy?


I am 32 and a mother of 5 yrs old. I have been suffering from stress incontinence for last 4 years. Should I go for second pregnancy? Can this condition affect my pregnancy negatively?

It is possible that this will worsen your condition. However, if you start with Kegel exercises early you might minimize the effect. Any worsening of your incontinence could last a while, too.

I do not see how being incontinent would adversely effect your pregnancy, however.

Good luck on whatever your choice!

Cheers!

Shouldn't be a problem at all! The incontinence may get a little worse for the last two months of pregnancy and a month or so after wards, but it wont hurt the baby at all. Go forth and multiply!
