Embarrassing... Has it happened to you?

So it happened. I sneezed, and I leaked. That's never happened to me before. Great that it happened at work too. Two vag deliveries of normal sized babies, and never had an issue before. I guess I should work on some kegels (do they really help?) and pick up some poise pads.

    Yes, yes it does  :(  Sucks. But like you said, with 2 vag. deliveries....I guess that's just the reality. They say they work, but I've never done them.

    I am sad to say this is a huge part of my life since having kids.  I will not go into the gory details, but it stinks big time.  Kegals really haven't worked for me.

    Ummm yeah. It's the reason why I had surgery 3 weeks ago! if you've gone this long though and never had much of a problem, exercises would help you a lot. I was way beyond that point so I hope that didn't scare you :)

    Yes.  It was really bad for awhile after DD, but it's gotten better with time.  I still wear a pad if I have a cold - sneezing and coughing are horrible sometimes.

    I did see a urologist and she offered PT for the pelvic floor or the surgery - I wasn't quite ready for the surgery, so I decided to keep doing kegels on my own (no time for PT, really).

    I have a friend who was leaking after birth - just by pushing a stroller or standing up - and she seems to have had success with the PT.

    This happens to me all the time - even before I had DD. I usually wear a pantyliner and if I cross my legs when I sneeze it usually prevents it. I will have surgery if it gets much worse.
