Kegels = peeing yourself?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So I started doing kegels again because I keep snissing and I want to be done.  Well since I started doing kegels again, I've noticed that my underwhere is always wet.  I first I didn't know what it was but It smelled like amonia so I know it's pee.  I'm leaking day and night and resorted to wearing a pad again Sad.

I thought kegels were supposed to help.  Anyone else have this happen?  I have my 6 wk pp next week so I'll definitely ask my OB.

    It's been happening to me too. I've been doing kegels more and it seems to be helping. Know that you're not alone.

    I hate that I smell like old lady now. They will eventually help, though!

    I just read an blog interview with a biomechanical scientist that says contrary to popular belief, kegels actually make the problem worse.  To combat the problem do lots of squats and lunges, plus focus on your transverse abs (deepest, lowest abs).  It helped for me.  After 3 months of dedicated squats, lunges and transverse ab exercises (and no kegels), I don't have a problem at all.
