You are so not alone....even AFTER my pregnancies I've had a tendency to have that happen...I remember during my 3rd pregnancy (2nd that went full term) I had an incident at work where I sneezed and peed all over myself...i called my husband crying saying i had to go home and change....i must have been really upset becuase he left work (he was military then) and met me at home to check on me.

It happens to me to and sometimes when i am getting sick, or have the dry heaves I even pee alittle, i think that is the worst.  Glad to know its normal, this is baby number 2 for me and I dont remember this happening the first time around.

Ok at least you weren't me...!!!...  After giving birth to my first son they had given me docusate sodium (stool softener) multiple times per day to try to get me to poop if you will.  Well I was in the hospital room talking on the phone when I started to get the urge and accidently messed my pants before making it to the bathroom.  How humiliating. Apparently it is more common to lose control than I thought, but still!  It did finally go away, but just know that there are others of us out here!  Oh and at least it is just a little pee!

Pregnancy puts strain on your bladder and it is never the same again. Just one of those things. I don't think you need to invest in Depends, though! :)

Hehe, hi Leanna. You are not along. When I was pregnant and even for a few months after giving birth, when I would sneeze or cough hard I would pee a little too. It is normal if it happens. It's just pressure being on your bladder plus the extra chaos inside of sneezing and all. It sucks, I know, but bare with it! lol Just wear panty liners or something... best of luck on peeing yourself... seriously... it sucks! :P

No, went to the doc today, no infections. Im 8 weeks 4 days pregnant, had 3 mc, and each pregnancy has made my bladder less controlled. I find myself needing to go often. But now its like when I sneeze, I just pee a little. Maybe lack of control? I just thought its weird, and my husband is laughing at me LOL.

I've had a number of bladder problems but this hasn't happened to me yet, although when I start to get a UTI, it sure feels like it might! but it feels that way even if I take too big of a breathe, not just sneeze. Do you know if you have any type of infection as of right now? I'm sorry that must suck, you should ask your doc. about it.
