Help, I'm Leaking!


I'm 21 weeks pregnant and now I'm in the midst of the Mother of All Head Colds. Sick as a dog, body aches and pains, and what's worse coughing and sneezing my head off.
That only means one thing.

DEPENDS!

I'm not quite there yet -- I thought this wasn't supposed to happen well into old age. But whenever I sneeze or cough, which is like, all the time, the flood gates burst open. Stayfree Maxipads don't always help either. Sometimes they're as useless as coffee filters.

Bladder control, hey, what's that?! Apparently this leakage is quite common in pregnant women, especially induced through sneezing, coughing or bouts of hysterical laughter.

Oh boy. Now I'm inspired to write a rap song about it:

Help! I'm Leaking (or I'm Not an Old Lady, This is Driving Me Crazy)

Whenever I'm coughin' or a sneezin'
You know it means I'm leakin'

Refrain: I'm not an old lady, this is drivin' me crazy.
This is supposed to happen at 80, not to a nice young lady!

Get me a diaper, or a windshield wiper
After you have babies, your bladder leaks like gravy

Refrain: I'm not an old lady, this is drivin' me crazy.
This is supposed to happen at 80, not to a nice young lady!

Stop the flood from spillin'
So this girl can be chillin

Refrain: I'm not an old lady, this is drivin' me crazy.
This is supposed to happen at 80, not to a nice young lady!

I want to stop feeling like a freak
And more like fresh meat!

Refrain: I'm not an old lady, this is drivin' me crazy.
This is supposed to happen at 80, not to a nice young lady


Such is the life of a pregnant woman. More to come...stay tuned!
