do you ever leak?
I always hear people saying that after birth they cant jump anymore (ex: I jump on the trampoline all the time and my sister tells me that after having kids she would pee herself if she did that) but I haven't had that problem and wonder if it has anything to do with how you gave birth.
I had 2 c/s's never had a vaginal.
If you only had c/s do you have this problem?

I've only had 1 c-sec and will have another in July. No leaking for me - and I hope I never do!

2 c sections and no leakage after pregnancy. Though I did pee on myself a couple times during the second pregnancy when I sneezed. After that, nothing. But I don't really jump around that much either.

I'm pregnant now and have when I sneezed. I also pushed for 2 hours prior to my emergency C-section with my son, so I'm thinking that's what did it to me!

@2PeasinaPod: I never pushed but my 1st was very large and I think that's what did it to me.

I had a c section and do not leak. However, I peed myself quite a bit sneezing while pregnant, starting around 20 weeks. So embarrassing. My husband thought it was hilarious.

@MOMTOLITTLEB: the 1st time it happened to me I was a bit in shock. My husband laughed too.

3 C-sections, no leakage when I'm not pregnant. But, when I was pregnant with my third I leaked all the time!!! It was terrible. I remember saying it wasn't fair, mine don't even come out that way! hahaha

Just so everyone knows, leaking after a vaginal birth is NOT normal. You should be seen by a pelvic floor physio if this is the case.
I've had 1 vaginal birth and am 31 weeks pregnant, I've never leaked after birth or when pregnant. So just because you have a vaginal birth doesn't mean you have to put up with leaking!!

@QBbride: that's what i've heard--I'm going to be bugging my dr for a referral to a pelvic floor therapist this fall!

I've had 1 vaginal birth, and never leaked during pregnancy or after having LO until I was about 7 months postpartum and had the stomach flu--the first time I threw up, I had some major leakage.
After that, nothing.
Now that I'm pregnant again, I notice I have to be aware of my muscles to not leak when I sneeze, but I have no problems jumping (not that I do it all the time).

I've had a c/s and vaginal. After both births, and even while pregnant, leaking isn't an issue.

2 vaginal births, and no leakage, so maybe @QBbride: is onto something!

I had a cesarean and haven't had any problems with this even while I was pregnant or immediately postpartum. I also do weights twice a week with a trainer, including lots of squats, which I've read are really good for the pelvic floor muscles.
