Embarassing! Peeing all the time!

Help!

I know that in the third trimester women sometimes experience "leakages" when they sneeze, cough, laugh, etc... But every time I get a Braxton Hicks contraction, bend over to pick something up, or even when the baby moves I literally pee in my pants. I have been trying kegels, but even when I do them, I leak when I squeeze! 

Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?  I am so embarrassed and frustrated...I'm only 34 weeks and I cant imagine peeing like this every day until I deliver (and then for weeks afterwards)!

Probably because I'm hormonal right now, but this is so upsetting.  I'm worried that it will last long after I have the baby and I'm scared.

Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA

:)

    I really have this problem EVERY time I laugh! Its bad. I wear a panty liner because of it! And once in a while after I go pee I think im done then go a little bit more after ive already gotten up. Ugh, its embarrasing!

    What i have done is to start crossing my legs when i think that i might pee  a little.

    i've only had this a few times when I was already peeing, thought I was done, and got up to wipe and got some extra drips that i didn't expect.  (enough to make me have to change, gross.)

    if you are having the problem i'd buy actual depends - brand liners so you have more urine odor control & protection because pantyliners aren't really designed for that. 

    sorry this is happening to you :(

    my sister had this awful with her pregnancy - no tips on how to deal with it while pregnant except for wearing pads (for her liners weren't enough) - but rest assured - it went away immediately after the baby was born.  She was SO worried about that - and all turned out fine.  Its probably not much consolation now for you - but hope it helps.  (fwiw - my issue isn't peeing - it's vomit - I can't even lean over to pick something up without throwing up in my mouth - so weird...)
