Kimmy K, your bladder isn’t broken. It’s just getting bad intel 🧠 If you’ve ever been to the loo, stood up, and immediately needed to go again the second you get nervous... this is what’s actually happening inside your body. Spoiler: your pelvic floor is involved. Save this one for the next time your bladder tries to sabotage a first date 📌
