I've had two children, normal vaginal deliveries, 4+ years ago now.

Recently I have been exercising and wetting myself. I'm ok with normal activities but just have no control when exercising.

What can I do without seeing a doctor (which is a royal pain in arse, I've just started a new job and all the appointments are really inconvenient). Any advice would really be appreciated.

Do you do your pelvic floors every day?

You can buy kegel trainers of various kinds online. 10 mins a day in addition to your pelvic floor exercises. Amazon is your friend

This really changed my life although it is more about prolapse (of which urinary incontinence is a symptom). Disregard the hippy earth mother stuff and just get down to the exercises because they really help.

Hab-It DVD and website. Loads of exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor, can be done at home in about half an hour - is NOT just kegels.

Messyisthenewtidy are there exercises on that website? I can't see any

Google Gussiegrips- youtube and posts on MN.

Also recommend Oz women's physio Michelle Kenway- loads of info on her website and she does DVDs to use at home.

The basic regime is 3 x 10 long pull-ups daily and 10 x 3 short ones.
But you have to do them properly.

Other exercises like some Pilates and anything high impact will make it worse.
