I peed my pants...in public

I officially have no shame left. Last night my DH and I decided to go on an outing about 45 minutes away to this nice outdoor mall to shop and have dinner. 15 minutes into our night, I started having a coughing fit (I'm one of those trying to get over this annoying cold!) and since this was the ONE DAY I wasn't wearing a bladder pad, Murphey's Law insisted I MUST pee my pants. I'm not talking about a little dribble here or there. I'm talking, the flood gates were opened and I was peeing down my leg.

The good news was: I was wearing black pants--so to the untrained eye, you might not notice the giant wet spot all down my pants, and there was an Old Navy that just opened last week with a great maternity department! I had to go and buy new underwear, new pants (and a few shirts while I was at it..) It was a bit tricky sloshing in my pants down the mall to the store, but it all worked out in the end I guess.

Note to self: NEVER leave the house without a pee-pad again! I don't know if my DH will ever let me live this one down!

lol...great story. good thing old navy was close!

a friend of mine actually thought her water broke early and went to the hospital, but what really happened was that she peed on herself...a lot. it's something to laugh about now.

 

Oh no! What a story!

 

Of course we have no shame. I cringe when I remember whipping out my breast to all the nurses/LC's/ and doctors when Will was not nursing in NICU. It's just crazy how our whole self image changes.

Good for you that you can laugh about it and had a shop nearby. I've had this rotten cold and it's not just little coughs, it's big old full body, cross your legs type of coughs. I hope you get better soon.

No shame..i agree! Once i had been in the hospital and still on a catheter from the c-section and had the nurse change the pad an with all the bleeding i was having...you loose all sense of dignity in the hospital i tell you, i think that it goes along with a twin pregnancy - possibly any pregnancy at that. No dignity at all left once you're prego with twins. Have a great pregnancy and good luck!

 

{{{hug}}} Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt. Don't want to visit again

That happened to me at Walmart during my last pregnancy. I had a half shopping cart full of crap. I just ran out of the store though. I didn't have the grace to try to make it work. My boys were totally shocked and didn't get what was happening.

Yes, I can laugh about it now. But it was awful then. Glad you had a saving grace

 

OMG! I would be cracking up and even peeing more. Good thing you were close to Old Navy.

 

Hooray for old navy (and good for you for picking up some shirts - definitely a necessary 'consolation prize!).....and, i bet your black pants were very slimming, huh? (tee hee)

well, if it makes you feel any better; i wasn't in public, but this morning i did sneeze while getting socks from my drawer - and a minute later one of my cats was sniffing at something - and i noticed the lovely water design on the hardwood floor.

The worst part - i have the feeling that htis is not going to go away after these babies come out: either that or i'll be doing 10,000 kegels/day!

I hope you enjoyed your outting nonetheless!

 

Bless your heart!!! I thought it was bad when I did it in the car!!
thank goodness for Old Navy!

 

What a way to get new clothes!

Sorry that happened, glad you were able to fix the situation.

 

LOL about the "No Shame" Club! I used to be able to be a very private person until my stomach started turning the corner before I did...

GREAT SAVE (with the Old Navy slosh)!

Why is it that the pee escapes only on the days when we try braving ONE DAY without the pads? Actually, reading about peeing in one's pants in THE GIRLFRIEND'S GUIDE TO PREGNANCY got me to laugh so hard I peed in my pants.

Hopefully shedding the last of my dignity/privacy will lighten this (cute, but HEAVY!) load some more.

Keep trooping!

 

H NO!! That's awful; I'm so sorry! What a story you'll have to tell your kids when they're bugging you one day: "Listen here, I peed my pants in PUBLIC for you!!" hahaha

 

I totally agree, no shame!

Sorry! Thank god for having a store close by!

 

oh my!!! Great story!

 

Oh the havic they're reeking already! Gotta love the stories that go with any pregnancy, let alone a twin one.
