    Get those pelvic floor muscles working hard and often!! It can be fixed but it is easier if you prevent it from getting too bad in the first place.

    I've been having trouble when I cough, I've almost wet myself that many times I've lost count, I've also found that if I crack up laughing over something I have a hard time holding on, even if I've just gone to the toilet!Hopefully it's just the baby otherwise I'm in for some embarrassment later!

    You need to do your pelvic floor exercises often.
    If anyone is unsure how to do them I have put together a guide.

    Yep, I'm another one! For the past few weeks occaisionally I will leak. Bubs is getting big and heavy in there and I don't think my muscles ever got back to their normal strength before getting pg again (only 6 1/2 mths between pg's).
    Alan I have emailed you for those tips!! Thanks

    Occasionally I feel like I dribble a little when I sneeze or if I'm laying on the floor playing with DD but I haven't had a leakage that shows through my pants since a few days after DD was born and I completely wet myself.
