Leaking urine...

I'm 29wks pregnant and I seem to be leaking urine - I keep findng damp patches in my underwear which definitely have the distinctive smell of wee. I'm not weeing myself when coughing etc, but I think I get a small leak just before I need to go the loo, and I leak a bit after.

I've always kept up my pelvic floor exercises, are these leakes a sign that my pelvic floor is weak despite the exercises? Or is it just the shear weight on my bladder (I am big for my stage in pregnancy)? And should I be resigning myself to a lifetime of Tena lady? And actually should I be mentioning this to my midwife?

Some time before i was pregnant I had a few occasions where I leaked urine - one time really badly. It turned out I had a urine infection even though I had no other symptoms. I think it's worth a mention.
