Any other moms "leak" urine when you run

Not a great amount, but I hate wearing a maxi pad when I run. I think it is the result of having had 4 children by natural childbirth. But is there anything you can do. I have been "kegalling", but that has not solved the problem yet. Am I wasting my time? Is there anything else that can be done.

you know I have never had kids and that sometimes happens to me when I'm dancing around or when I used to jump on a trampoline. I think it's just something that happens. It doesn't happen to me hardly at all, but if there's a cure it would be great to know what it is.

You could ask your ob/gyn or speak to a urologist about it. I had three children by natural childbirth as well and I have the same problem now that I am starting to run on the treadmill.

There is a surgery that can help, however extreme. I leak urine too. Always when I sneeze. And the latest was dancing that was fun. Anyway, I try to pee a lot so I don't let go of too much. Good luck!

Funny you should mention this.
I went to the doctor the other day for my checkup. I mentioned having the same problem and she told me to do Kegel Exercises. It may take as long as three months for them to work. You also have to do them correctly. There are many things out on the market such as vaginal weights. I've never used them but they are suppose to help with bladder control. If all else fails check with your DR.
Surgery may be an option for you. Hope this helps.

Where do you get these "vaginal weights"? Drug store or sex store (adult entertainment store).

My sister complains of that all the time and does the ole "cross the legs when she laughs" thing. she's had 6 kids... I've only had one but I get this while running too. There is a surgery that they can do to tighten things up again but it is pretty intense and can make you prone to infections for a while. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons and talk to your obgyn to get as much info as you can.
