I have been wetting the bed since I was a kid. My mother wet the bed up until college and has a overactive bladder and 4 out of 5 of my brothers and sisters wet the bed. I am 21 now and it probably happens to me 3-6 times a month. Before I went to college I went to see a doctor, I was embarrassed that it would happen to me at school, they prescribed me some medication that made my abdomen feel really tight. I really sucks, I accidently pissed on my bf while we were sleeping together, its really debilitating…

And i am only 13 years of age and are scared i might have to have surgery and are embarrest to tell a doctor. and i am worried about what they will do when i do see them. i am very nervous about everyday life and the furture.

I have been leaking urine for sometime, but have began to leak during sex and whilst coughing. Im in the early 2nd trimester of my 4th pregnancy & have found the stress incontinence worse since the beginning of pregnancy.
I've been advised that pilates helps with pelvic floor muscles [hence ?improvement with incontinence & sex life?]
