Incontinence???

I am a 38 year old Mother of two.  My children are teenagers however over the past 10 years, I have had more and more occassions of incontinence.  I was told that Chil bearing can cause this.  I have had a Urodynamic study done and found  that the Urrethra muscle is very weak.  I will be having  sling surgery to correct this.  Now the point of my question.  How is this classified and what do the classifications mean?  I was told I was a something 3 and then something else with  a 3 and sometimes a two.  What does all this mean?  I meant to ask when I had my appointment but,  really was surprised by the findings and didn't think to ask at the time.
Thank you,  Lynn
