3 yr old DD wetting pants

What to do? She's always had little leakages, not enough to soak through her clothes. She uses the loo quite a lot, tells me of she needs to go when we're int he car or out, so it's not constant wetting, but she'll occasionally wee in her room, or the garden, then just wander around with wet clothes - doesn't seem bothered by it.

I've tried using pull ups, rewards, telling-off. She's still having little leaks, and the occasional full wee. I noticed the cold bathroom floor seemed to set her off (seemed to bring on the urge to wee she couldn't get undressed quickly enough) so I put a mat down, but still the little leaks and odd full wee on the floor.

Has been going on since she came out of nappies (a year ago) but getting worse now. She's not dry at night yet, no sign of being ready. Don't think it's a UTI as no other symptoms and it's been going on a while, but may make GP appt tomorrow.

Any ideas or similar experiences?

There's a potty training thread on here too that might get you a few more responses. I've posted about similar with my ds who is 2yrs 4mnths and people seem to say it is quite normal, especially if they are engrossed in something eg. playing a game in her room. Some reception age children still have occasional accidents, but I'd imagine as they get older they will want to be dry more, and also it will become more like second nature? Thats what I'm hoping anyway!

Dont think it will hurt to take her to the gp, at least then you can rule out any other causes.
