Advice on pregnancy

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’m 19 weeks pregnant. I am suffering from constant cold and sneezing, while sneezing at times I leak few drops of urine. Is there any complication with the baby? I also have bad breath. Please advice.

Stress urinary incontinence happens during a sneeze, cough or position change. This can be mild or severe, depending on the condition. There is an increase in the pressure forcing the urine out of the bladder. In pregnancy, there is pressure on the bladder which is attributed to the enlarging uterus.

I would recommend you to take up Kegel exercises to prevent this leakage, under the guidance of your gynaecologist. These improves and strengthens the muscles around the vagina.

Hormonal changes in pregnancy also causes bad breath. Also, referred to as Halitosis, bad breath is caused by bacteria that thrives on tongue and throat.

I have answered a similar question on remedies for halitosis. Visit,
