So you've spotted the <a href="http://www.videojug.com/interview/signs-of-pregnancy">pregnancy symptoms</a> and are now pregnant and leaking urine frequently. Well i's definitely OK. And we never say to a patient who is pregnant "you need to restrict fluid" because pregnant patients need to stay well hydrated. It's simply an anatomical problem. There's too much weight on the pelvis. And I had leakage with cough / laugh / sneeze when I was pregnant. It's very common. And is there anything that we could do? Not really. Just grin and bare it like we have to bare all of the components of pregnancy.
