Leaking urine is a common side effect of pregnancy.
The things us girls have to go through, hey?! Today I have a very special guest for you,
women's health physio and incontinence specialist, Annette Beauchamp.
We're going to be discussing everything you need to know about minimising your risk of
leaking during pregnancy and providing some practical tips on how to treat it. Stay tuned!
Hi! If this is our first time connecting, welcome! My name is Melanie McGrice and I'm
a pre and postnatal dietitian. I help couples boost their fertility and give their baby's the
best start possible with the power of good food. Make sure you connect with me on my socials...
you'll find all the details in the description box below this video. Now today, we have
women's health physio and incontinence specialist, Annette Beauchamp with us.
Welcome Annette!
There's a lot that can be done from a dietary perspective as well. One of my favourite tips is
simply cutting out teas and herbal teas as the caffeine and herbs tend to cause more leakage
than just drinking water or milk. Another fav is to ensure adequate fibre intake, as constipation
makes you strain, which makes you more likely to pee. I tend to see this alot in my practice.
Thanks so much, that's awesome Annette! We'll include Annette's
contact details below the video so that you can reach out to her if you have any further questions.
Annette, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your expertise!
And, as a special gift for you guys, I'll also link to my 7 day free pregnancy meal plan to
help you ensure that you're having enough fibre in your pregnancy diet.
As I mentioned, your diet can also make a big difference when it comes to pregnancy
incontinence, so feel free to ask your questions in the comments section below this video.
I look forward to seeing you again soon!
