Doing PFE properly is probably the best thing you could do tbh. Pelvic floor physio advised the nhs app, made a difference in 4 weeks so if you do regularly now & post birth you may not have too much of an issue.

“ Take a deep breath in, sigh out.
As you sigh out, #squeezeandlift your bumhole. Hold it shut for a count of 10 seconds - but, keep breathing!
The 10 seconds is an aim, don't worry if you can only feel it work for 3 seconds. If you can contract your pelvic floor for 10 seconds there is a reduction in the urge to pee - so, it'll buy you more time if there is a queue for the loo which is longer than you anticipated. So, you are aiming to get to a hold of 10, if you start from a hold of a half a second, just keep going and see if it improves over time.
The long hold won't help if you if you laugh, cough or sneeze - because that needs a short, quick contraction of the muscles to support the neck of your bladder.
Imagine this scenario - you can feel a nasty fart, oh no!
#squeezeandlift your bumhole quick!
Oh, it's ok, it's gone away, so, relax your bumhole.
Oh no, it's back! That's going to be horrible! Squeeze your bumhole!
Oh, no, it's gone away, relax your bumhole...
Do ten in a row and make sure you properly relax the muscles between each one.
You have to do those two exercises three times a day until you are dry, and then once a day, every day until you are dry.
Hold for a count of 10, then 10 quick flicks and do one of those each x3/day -
Which gives us - 10, 10, 3
"We won't pee with a 10, 10, 3"
See? Easy.”
