What to do if you have urinary incontinence in late pregnancy

The late stage of pregnancy is a very difficult period for pregnant women, because during this period the belly has become very large, seriously affecting the normal ability to move. At the same time, as the belly gradually grows, the uterus will press on the pregnant woman's bladder, causing urinary incontinence in the late pregnancy. Urinary incontinence in late pregnancy is a problem that most pregnant women will face, but what methods should be used to solve it at this time?

What should you pay attention to in late pregnancy urinary incontinence

(1) Instruct the patient not to hold in large amounts of urine and to urinate promptly.

(2) Avoid conditions that increase abdominal pressure, such as chronic cough.

(3) Avoid constipation and do not increase abdominal pressure too much.

(4) Let her rest more, exercise in moderation, and avoid standing for long periods of time, as these may increase abdominal pressure and increase bladder discomfort.

(5) Also keep the vulva clean.

(6) There is no need to be too anxious about mild urinary incontinence. There is another method. For example, in the late stage, in order to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, you can do anal contraction exercises, such as doing it twice a day for a few minutes. After delivery, we can strengthen pelvic floor training according to the degree of urinary incontinence. There are also pelvic floor clinics now, and we will carry out training later.

Prevention methods for urinary incontinence in pregnant women

1. Locking vaginal exercise

The pregnant mother lies flat on the bed, then slowly inhales and slowly tightens the vagina as hard as possible from the anus, but be careful not to disperse the strength to other places. Then, slowly relax while exhaling, and count to 8 while inhaling. Repeat 5 times and then lie on one side to rest.

2. Split Leg Exercise

The pregnant mother lies flat on her back, lowers her knees and lifts her upper body while exhaling slowly through her mouth. Then inhale through your nose and return to a lying position. Repeat five times before lying on one side to rest.

3. Pelvic floor muscle exercises

The pregnant mother lies on her back on the bed with her head raised, her hands flat on both sides of the body, her knees bent, and the soles of her feet flat on the bed. Then, she tightens her pelvic floor muscles as if to control urination, holds for a moment, then relaxes, and repeats the tightening and relaxation. Repeat 10 times each time and do it at least 3-5 times a day.
