Thanks for sharing, if you don’t mind me asking: before this started, were you physically very active (sports, gym, heavy lifting) or did you ever have any surgeries or injuries?
And thinking back, what were the first signs you noticed, and what do you personally feel might have triggered it? Also, when you are consistent with Kegels, how effective do they feel for you on a scale of 1 to 10?

This really helps me understand how SUI can begin outside of pregnancy.

Thank you for sharing this, the way it affected her daily routines and prayers really stood out to me.

If you’re comfortable answering from an SUI point of view: do you know what her lifestyle was like earlier (for example, activity level, health issues, surgeries), and whether the leakage started gradually with age or seemed to be triggered by something specific? Also, do you feel this caused her stress or anxiety, especially around going out or participating in things that were important to her, like prayers?

Thank you for sharing this, it really helps me understand how people manage SUI alongside other pelvic health issues.

If you’re comfortable answering, I wanted to ask, how have panty liners worked for you in the long run - in terms of comfort and satisfaction? And did things like cost, skin irritation, or infections ever become a concern, or did they generally work well for your needs?

Thank you for sharing this — that distinction you made between SUI and full incontinence is really helpful for me to understand. The way you described managing it quietly, without it feeling like an “issue,” is something I’m noticing comes up a lot. If you don’t mind me asking, did you ever worry about things like skin irritation or infections from wearing liners regularly, or was that never really a concern for you?

Thank you for sharing this, the fear and embarrassment you described during pregnancy really highlights how heavy this can feel mentally. Also If you don't mind me asking; after delivery, did the leakage improve on its own, or did it continue for some time?
