It
is not a very comfortable feeling to be 'leaking' but
you can sure minimize the discomfort with these tips:
• Avoid wearing undies and pants or jeans; anything
that is restrictive in the crotch area
• Do not use tampons during pregnancy as it increases
the risk of vagina infection, which you are more prone
to these days
• Wear undies and pants that are made from breathable
natural fabrics like cotton. Avoid nylon, polyester
and anything too lacy
• Panty liners preferably the unscented ones are
absorbent; change them frequently through the day
• Change your undies frequently if you don't quite
like panty liners
• Avoid irritation by wiping from front to back
to prevent anal bacteria from entering your vagina
• Feeling fresh and clean is a must but you should
avoid scented soaps, feminine hygiene sprays. Instead
wash your vagina area with warm water and a gentle cleanser
ideally twice a day
• Do not douche especially during pregnancy as
it can introduce air bubble into your system and in
turn lead to dangerous complications
• Douching should also be avoided since it can
upset the balance of the vaginal flora and increase
your risk of infections (avoid douching even when you
are not pregnant)
• Another viable reason to avoid tight undies
and pants is because now due to increased blood flow
in your genital area you have become rather sensitive
down there
