CONTEXT
There are no publically available data on maternal health and health problems following discharge from the maternity hospitals in Ireland
Women’s attendances at health services or readmissions to hospitals are not linked to their maternity records (i.e. there is no connectivity between their records)

(i) Self-completion questionnaires administered at 5 time points: antenatally and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postpartum
(ii) Data collection from women’s records (iii) Interviews with women experiencing UI at 6 months
postpartum
1600 primiparous women

RELEVANCE
Did women talk to a healthcare professional ?
Talked to a healthcare professional about leaking urine - women
with SUI only (n = 178)
12 months before pregnancy In early pregnancy
Yes 13 7.3 17 9.6
No 161 90.4 161 90.4
Total 174 97.8 178 100.0
SUMMARY Analysis of data from these 817 women show that More than 1 in 3 participants experienced some degree of urinary incontinence at the start of pregnancy and most did not talk to a healthcare professional
Women reporting occasional UI before pregnancy have raised odds of developing UI during pregnancy Brown et al 2010
Women who develop UI during the first pregnancy or puerperium have a significantly higher risk of UI 5 years later than women without UI symptoms Viktrup & Lose 2000
DOES THIS MATTER?
THE CONCLUDING MESSAGE
Preliminary data (n = 896)
~40% of primiparous women are being offered information on the MAMMI study
Of those given the information, about two in five complete the survey
Response rate (~40%)
Author information: 1 Trinity College Dublin. 2 Queen’s University Belfast
KEY POINTS
178 women (21.8%) had some degree of SUI before pregnancy
263 women (32.2%) had some degree of SUI during early pregnancy
KEY POINTS
132 women (21%) experienced SUI in early pregnancy
KEY POINTS
SUI persisted in 121 (73.6%) participants

Total 666 81.5
KEY POINTS
141 women (28.9%) with BMI < 25 had SUI in early pregnancy
80 women (45%) with BMI > 25 had SUI in early pregnancy
Whilst UI remain undisclosed and not discussed, women who could become continent will continue to be incontinent
Urinary incontinence is common but it is not normal and can be treated
Women do not talk to healthcare professionals about UI, therefore we need to ask women.
