Some women might leak pee during pregnancy because their growing baby puts pressure on the bladder, and hormonal changes can affect bladder control.
During pregnancy, many women experience urinary incontinence, which means they might leak pee. This happens because the baby grows and puts pressure on the bladder, making it harder for the bladder to hold urine. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also affect the muscles that control the bladder, making it more likely for leaks to happen.
Understanding these changes can help women know what to expect and seek help if needed.
