I am 5 weeks PP and had the same. I had a vaginal delivery with my daughter being sunny side up and was a fast pusher.

This was not something I was prepared for after delivery. I still leak when I cough and at times when I'm about to go to the bathroom my bladder spasms. All I've heard is Kegels - kegels and more of them. I am not going to start any running until this gets a bit better because I've heard that jumping can cauuse more permanent damage.

Looking forward to everyone's experience with this problem

I had this a little after each pregnancy. (all vaginal and all I tore at least 2nd degree). I don't remember how long it took to resolve, but at 2 months postpartum I seem to only have issues when doing jumping jacks or movements like that.

My midwife tells people in her postpartum apt to do kegels during every diaper diaper change so you don't have to wear a diaper. I try to remember, but I"m not good about it. It does get better. If it's not better by your postpartum visit tell them as they may need to do more.

I had it a little after both pregnancies and a little towards the end of my second pregnancy. (Both were vaginal deliveries and I was an efficient pusher - three pushes for baby #1 and two pushes for baby #2!) I never peed my pants per se but would leak a little if I coughed hard or sneezed or laughed too hard. Thank God for giant postpartum maxi pads!

Both times it had resolved completely by 2-3 months, give or take. It didn't last long either time. I'm 14 months postpartum today and can assure you that my underwear is always dry even after serial sneezes (I almost always sneeze three times.)

For some women it is a permanent thing, but I think that's more the exception to the rule. I know my mom had (has?) that issue, and she had four kids vaginally. However I think it may have had more to do with the fact that she had two pelvic surgeries later on, not pregnancy/L&D.
