embarrassing question

I am embarrassed asking this question, but it has gone on too long and I need to know if anyone else has the same problem.
My bladder is super weak. Like, I am often not able to make it to the bathroom. The urge will hit me all of the sudden and I have to go right away, or there will be sprinkles. The problem as gotten worse as I've gotten heavier over the years.
Am I alone in this? Or is it common with large women?

I have the same prob, but only when I leave it too late and am just getting home. It rarely happens when Im out or if I go often so it dosnt get urgent. I heard the prob at home is because we relax when we get home. I have not thought it was to do with weight. But wondering if my pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough. Trying to do pelivic floor exercises but totally forget.3

Yup! It comes and go for me. Some months my bladder is fine and other months I just barely make it to the bathroom.0

I struggle too. I was pregnant 4 times with 3 births. I also had prolapse. Sometimes I make it. Sometimes I use leaky bladder pads.1

I actually have this problem at night. One day, it just started out of the blue. I figure I hit a breaking point. I am 325lbs, but only 5'2".0
