The other day I posted about some of the differences between being pregnant and waiting to adopt. Today, I was talking to my friend, who shall remain nameless, who gave birth to a beautiful baby boy four months ago and she listed yet another benefit of not giving birth.
It seems she has lost some of the control of her bladder. Well, technically, it isn’t her bladder but something I can’t spell that she’s lost control of. It seems that if her bladder is at all full and she sneezes, she also pees. Not just a drop or two, either…enough so that it runs down her leg. I’ve decided to call this “Peezing” – it’s what you do when you sneeze and pee at the same time…more accurately when you sneeze and it makes you go pee. I’ve submitted “Peezing” to Webster and hope it will be added to the next edition of the dictionary.
If ever there was a benefit of not giving birth, this must be it. No peezing for me, thank you very much.

Yes, Cindy your life is about to change–probably more than you can imagine. However, that’s okay, parenting is a step by step walk with God–and He will lead you.

You might not need to link up with someone, but if you do, get with Joanie (she’s made a few comments on my “Koozie” post, where I found your link). They adopted two years ago and it has been an incredible blessing.
My wife never peezed, at least that I know of…
Comment by Danny Sims July 27, 2005 @ 7:16 amI’ve never experienced what your friend does, but I have to admit to a drop or two. I think there are exercises that can help her with that. She needs to ask her doctor.

Comment by shorthorns July 27, 2005 @ 2:36 pmYes – I never thought of that one. The keegle issue or kegal – whatever! Now I have another that I can chalk up there! Yay! Thank you God that I will never hopefully have to deal with that. (I know those that have had natural would deal with that stuff ten times over – but when you are unable to conceive – it is a nice thought that you don’t have to deal with that stuff!)
