One pregnancy  can really get the body going. You will certainly be familiar with the well-known accompanying symptoms that many pregnant people have to endure: From morning sickness to the craziest cravings, everything seems to be there.

In our blog post, we explain why pregnancy incontinence occurs and what you can do about it.

In general, it can be said that people with a weak pelvic floor muscles suffer from incontinence more often. This can also be a genetic predisposition. The pelvic floor, just like the sphincter, consists of muscle mass. Did you know that the Muscle mass decreases after the age of 20 ? This can also lead to the pelvic floor muscles being affected.

This is very useful for the upcoming birth, but incontinence can also be an unpleasant side effect. 

Frequent urination is a normal companion during pregnancy. In addition to the increased urge to urinate, it can also happen that pregnant women urinate uncontrollably.
