I am 22 wks along, and I just can't stop dribbling alittle when I sneeze or cough. I am trying those kegals or whatever those exercises are called to help, but it's not really doing the job. Any good advice.. Confused

With the baby now taking over in your stomach, it makes less room for everything else, including your bladder which means your bladder is very weak and cramped. As you get deeper into your pregnancy you will find out that you will be peeing more frequently because of the less room to hold your bladder. Nothing to worry about though. Good luck on you baby and congratulations! Maybe while going to the restroom, stop, then go, then hold it, then go. This excersize strengthens the muscles a bit so it might help. Do it a few times a day!
