Missy explains why she would have tried to prevent bladder incontinence during pregnancy if she had the information then that she knows now.

Missy:
Again, I was well educated. I thought I was doing everything right and here I ended up, you know, a pelvic train wreck. So I just decided that there had to be a better a way. If I had known what I know now I might have chosen to do things differently, for example, during my pregnancy I certainly would have been paying attention to my pelvic health and wellness.

I would have been doing a lot more Kegels. I would have been doing perineal massage. I might have had a midwife. I might have changed the way I delivered, who knows, it might have made no difference, but I would certainly have not been as surprised as I was to end up on the other side of that experience with all these things happening.
