ALL PREGNANT women know that bladder leaks are a common occurrence when you’re growing new human.
However, one unlucky mum, carrying her fourth child, accidentally wet herself in a major way while on a trip to the supermarket.

Mallory Dolan, from Texas, was browsing the vegetable aisle in a branch of Whole Foods with a trolley when she suffered the accident – properly known as stress incontinence.
Unfortunately for her, husband Dan – with whom she shared three children at the time – thought it was hilarious and started filming her on his phone.
It didn’t take long for his embarrassed other half to see the funny side too, and found herself in fits of laughter.
Eventually, the couple alerted a member of staff who came and cleaned up.

The video was uploaded to TikTok and has since gone viral, with many mums praising Mallory for showing the reality of pregnancy.
Captioning the clip, she wrote: “When you are in your third trimester with baby number four and can’t control your bladder.”
The mum-of-four told Buzzfeed that she had initially wet herself a little after sneezing.
She then showed Dan the mess on the floor, leading him to start filming.

However, Mallory – who documents family life on Instagram with her husband – then urinated a lot more and caught the giggles.
She explained: “I couldn’t stop laughing and, in return, peeing.
“I kept walking around to get away from the camera because I was so embarrassed. I didn’t think I had to pee when we got into the store!”
While their children didn’t understand what was happening, other shoppers were confused.

Mallory continued: “People were totes watching, but no one said a word.
“After the incident, I used some napkins from the salad bar to clean myself and the floor and eventually a worker came and mopped.”
The video has since been viewed more than 14m times and has received 2m ‘likes’.
Stress incontinence often happens during pregnancy because the unborn baby places pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, bladder and urethra.
It is thought that two thirds of women over 40 suffer from bladder leaks – the risk of which can be raised with childbirth and age – and it has a “major impact” on their quality of life, according to a recent report.
