So...I've had 4 kids naturally....so all the kegals in the world are not helping. I simply cannot jump up and down, do jumping jacks, jog, sneeze, laugh too hard, etc...or unwanted side effects happen. No matter what I do. It's getting ridiculous!!

I can't be the only one. I just can't be....so what have you found that helps (besides Depends...LMAO!)? Am I looking at surgery?

    I so know this experience. I don't have any suggestions but your are surely not alone in this. I know some that have had the surgery and it didn't help at all. So I guess maybe we are just stuck with the Depends.

    I hope this helps. My grandmother had 7 children and did need and have the surgery and it did work. I would just recommend doing your homework for a doctor that you are comfortable with. In the meantime know that you are definitely not the only one.

    Its more common than you think, and when women share this information it becomes a relief for others who suffer too. I also have had 4 kids vaginally (last two were twins). I have just come to the conclusion that it is natural to stand in the grocery store line in my running clothes with a dollar off coupon and a package of depends. LOL

    I have to have two sizes of bladder control pads, one for short runs and one for long runs, I find it embarrassing still but I am willing to discuss because I know I'm not alone. I try and manage my water intake well before I execise and I have a crazy ritual of going to the bathroom 5 or 6 times right before I leave even though each time seems worthless. It is what it is...
