Answer

 It is called stress incontinence.  Women who have given birth are more likely to experience it.  It may only happen when coughing.  You can tighten the bladder muscle by doing kegel exercises.  When urinating try stopping the stream several times.  Do that same tightening throughout the day. That should help.  Good Luck!  Nurse Hope
