Mamamia's Confessions series asks women to share what they'd say to the people closest to them, if they could do so anonymously. What would you tell your parents? Your manager? Your ex? It could be a secret you've been holding onto for years, or something that's on your mind right now. Nothing is off-limits.
This week, we asked 43 women the one thing they'd say to pregnant women anonymously. Here's what they told us.
From morning sickness to unsolicited advice (ugh), all sorts of things come with being pregnant that you might not expect. Bladder leakage is another one of those very common but not commonly talked-about things that go hand in hand with pregnancy and childbirth, with two in three women who have had a baby experiencing it.
Bladder leakage might not be everyone's favourite topic of conversation, but it came up when we spoke to a group of mums in the Mamamia community about the advice they'd give other pregnant women. Having something like Poise Regular Liners on hand during pregnancy is a simple way to help reduce stress around bladder leakage. Poise Regular Liners are four times drier than leading period liners and the ABSORBLOC core quickly absorbs and locks wetness away, so mums-to-be and new mums can cross that particular worry off their list.
But here's the thing about pregnancy: you can get all the advice, buy all the books and listen to all the opinions in the world. But it's the kind of thing you can never really know unless you've experienced it. So we asked women for the anonymous advice they'd give pregnant women — and they did not disappoint.
