Thanks Alyssa may I ask do you suffer from incontinence yourself and if so what type do you have I would love to hear your story,please pardon me in advance if that's been too forward but I have never spoken to anyone about this before and it's much easier to do so like this.

Absolutely, David.

Within days of delivering my second child, I found out that I was suffering from stress incontinence. No doubt due to the 9lbs. of each of my children bearing down on my bladder muscles...my children are very close together in age. While stress incontinence is definitely the least severe form of incontinence, it neverthless was devastating to me as an avid athlete. For me, incontinence was just another blow after surviving two life threatning pregnancies that came with the full gamut of complications and difficulties both during and post-pregnancy. After going through so many procedures and experiences that were exhausting both spiritually and physically, I have to say that I have learned to be much more compassionate and thoughtful.

I am happy to say after 5 years of really, really hard work I have recovered from most of the complications of pregnancy including reducing my stress incontinence to almost non-existent. I still worry about it quite a bit, but that's next on my list of things to work on.
