Is it premature to cough and leak urine in the third trimester

During the third trimester, the baby gradually enters the pelvis, which causes pelvic floor muscles to relax. When coughing or sneezing, the negative pressure increases, which leads to urine leakage. It is not a sign of premature birth. Occasional coughing in the third trimester may be related to food stimulation or dry air. Frequent coughing may be related to respiratory tract infection.
