Day 5 of crazy coughing and

I bet most moms can see where I'm going with this. Hanging in there but muscles are starting to fatigue. The cough shows no signs of ending either. Kegel...

Dd is in the same boat with the persistent cough....but luckily she hasn't had kids so she's in no danger of wetting herself.

Hope it gets better soon.

Poise pads, mama. Not fun but such a life saver. I don't use them often but when I have a bad cough they really help me feel more secure.

I went through 2 month long bouts of respiratory crap this summer. I got so very tired of peeing myself!!! I finally bought the damn Poise pads. Seriously, urine running down my leg is not my idea of a good time!

Ok, this is tmi, but having btdt with the peeing-my-pants-from-coughing after having given vaginal birth to three children. If you have a menstrual cup, like a diva cup, put it in! It helps this issue tons and then I don't have you wear poise pads and be even more miserable and depressed. I still take the diva cup out at least daily to wash it, but it works for the coughing incontinence.

I had that cough last winter, and it turned out to be pneumonia. If your cough doesn't get better soon, go get yourself checked out! (And I tried regular menstrual pads, but they weren't as useful as I imagine poise pads would be.)
