    Does anyone else pee when they sneeze?

    I am 11 months post partum but almost 5 months pregnant and lately peeing when i sneeze.
    Never really happened b4 so i am hoping it is bubs on bladder not an incontinence thing from birth

    What do you think
    anyone else had this??

    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.

    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

    I have also emailed you Alan. I have been told by my dr on how to do them but still not sure if i am doing them properly. I haven't seen or rather felt much improvement but that said, I need to do them more often. I forget

    ME ME. Well I would if I didn't cross my legs and hold on tight.

    Don't try skipping or jumping on the trampoline unless you want to feel like your insides are falling out
