Hi! i have incontinence urinary stress from my first childbirth. i am pregnant again. what risks may i have if i keep my baby? please help.

Lots of love: And the responsibility of raising another child to be a responsible adult and nurture that child. Physically, the incontinence can get worse but it can get fixed. You might get stretch marks or some sagging skin. That baby is a person like you are, who knows what that person could grow up to be president !good luck!

Not much risk.: Certainly having another child may worsen your urinary incontinence. However, it is unlikely to cause a significant increase in your problem. Your treatment options and likelihood of success will be no different after having another child. In the meanwhile i would start a regular regimen of kegel exercises.

Increased symptoms: Pregnancy puts additional pressure and strain on the bladder. You should expect your symptoms to worsen during the pregnancy. After delivery, the symptoms will probably improve for several months.
