Sneezing.

I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I have a cold at the minute so I’m sure that’s the culprit but I literally can’t stop sneezing. Probably a total of 30/40 times just today and tonight. To make matters worse? I pee a little every time I sneeze, even if I’ve just been to the toilet! I’m disgusting 😭
