Pregnancy should be an enjoyable time but it comes with challenges. Incontinence during pregnancy is common, with many women relying on incontinence pads to manage the problem.
But why is incontinence an issue? Is there anything that can be done to alleviate the symptoms? HARTMANN Direct give us the answers.

What types of incontinence are experienced during and after pregnancy?

Stress incontinence is one type of incontinence that pregnant women can experience. This means that accidental leaks of urine happen because of increased pressure on the bladder.

As the baby grows, more weight and pressure is placed on your bladder which can make controlling it more difficult. For example, coughing or sneezing places a quick and sudden pressure on the bladder, leading to a sudden and unexpected leak of urine.

There is an irony in the belief that underfloor heating is only suitable for the modern or new build home. We assume that as a ‘new’ technology, retrofitting the system to an existing property or an older property will lead to inefficiency.

And yet underfloor heating is one of the oldest heating systems around. To match this, modern versions of underfloor heating systems are streamlined so that they can be added to existing properties without too much renovation work or hassle.
Are you stressing about those extra few pounds that crept on you over the holiday season? Do you want to get in shape and feel more confident? If so, it’s tempting to try and crash diet and lose 6 lb in a week. However, this is not the best way to lose weight. If you see anything described as a miracle cure, there’s every chance that it will do you more harm than good. If you want to drop some weight, here are some suggestions to help you slim down the sensible way.

Control your portions
At Christmas time, we tend to throw caution to the wind when it comes to eating. Sadly, we can get too comfortable with the idea of eating chocolate for breakfast and indulging in supersize snacks during the day. Now that the holidays are a distant memory, it’s time to regain control and regulate your portion size. There’s no need to cram your body full of food, or to graze constantly. Stick to serving suggestions and recipe guidelines, and don’t continue to eat if you feel full. When you cut the size of your portions, you may feel hungry. However, your body will soon adapt, and you should start to notice a difference in your weight.
