the time i peed my pants… as an adult.

Kegel exercises.

yeah.

well. i now know the importance of this “exercise”

———pause——-

im 6 weeks postpartum- and of course, the workout junkie that i am, felt the need to re-kindle my love/hate relationship for running

monday, i ran 3 miles with my sister in law- it was hard & left me sore all over but felt goooooood

and i was hooked again-so i decided to go running with the hubs tuesday night

ha.

now, i didnt push myself too hard because i was feeling sore literally all over due to the previous 3 mile run- so my pace was a light jog- not enough to make me sweat profusely

{not running for nearly a year really takes a toll on your body}

anywho,

mid run i noticed i was errrrrrr… beginning to feel…… moist down below-

well that moist quickly progressed to soaking wet crotchal region and a very confused me

it was more like “i think i’m peei..OH MY GOSH I’M PEEING MY PANTS!!!!”

yeah.

the sad part is i didnt even realize i was peeing- i had no sensation to pee/no sensation of the urinating currently happening nor could i control my body to stop said peeing.

and to top it off i peed in my new running spanx and everythang- just throwing that out there

so we (still jogging) laughed and laughed and laughed and then i stopped and said

“well, um, are turning around?”

and the hubs is like “well, if you want to.”

ummmm hello! i just peeded my pants like a 150 year old grandma!! of course i wanna go home!!

so we did.

Now, while being discharged from the hospital they tell you not to exercise untill your 6 week check up with you doctor.

i asked why and they simply said you could pull something like a ligament or a muscle

psssssssssshhhhhhh is that it? i was expecting something on the lines of

oh well if you exercise before 6 weeks you will hemorrhage and you will die

pulled muscle? i could risk it- so i was exercising (bodyrocking) 3 weeks post baby (with my docs okay)

now, if they were to tell me

oooh well your pelvic floor muscle are weak and you will pee your pants if your bladder is the slightest full. happy kegeling! 

then maybe i would have worn a depend or something.

so now, as im sitting here writing this post- you best bet i be kegeling!

tmi?

maaaybe..
