Oh how this sounds familiar, i have 3 boys, all of which were big baby's, my last being 11lb 2oz, and yes i couldn't sneeze or cough or exercise without the dreaded dribble, you say you don't have incontinence, that's what i thought until i had a test at hospital, i had stress incontinence which is the mild sort all due to having the kids, you can do as much pelvic floor exercise as you like but it wont help, your too far past that, this is what i did, i was prescribed cones that are inserted into the vagina and come in different sizes, these also have ridges on, once inserted the muscles naturally grip onto the cones when you walk or move about, giving you instant pelvic floor, as you get used to them you will start to feel them more and more that means you are getting tighter, you then change to the next size until you gain controll again, these are amazing items and have worked really well for me, dont have any problems any more, go speak to your doctor, you may have to have a bladder fuction test which involves tubes and water being fed into the bladder, bit uncomfortable but ok, it will test to see how long you can hold on before you need to let go and also how fast the flow is once you let the water go, this is how they know how good or bad the problem is, just remember you need to get this sorted sooner rather than later because its in old age you will suffer, good luck hun and hope i have helped you understand it a little more!.xWww@Answer-Health@Com
my mom (mother of 4) has the same thing !
the solution is to have an operation that lifts the bladder up a little but she's too scared to do it so she's living with pads for he whole life and everytime she sneezes or laughs so hard she has to run to the bathroom Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have the same problem after 1~! i am fine holding it, but when i go pee, if right after i bend down, laugh or sneeze, woops there it goes!. i talked to the doctor and he said they can do a surgery to correct it, but its expensive and painful!. talk to them and see if they give you any other options!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bladder Tuck, I have known several mothers who have had to do this!. Child bearing make the muscles weak and there is not really anything you can do other than surgery when it gets to this point!.
