Stress incontinence refers to the release of urine when you sneeze, laugh or cough. It is caused when you put pressure on the bladder and is the most common kind of incontinence. When women gain weight or give birth, their pelvic muscles stretch. As these muscles stretch they cannot support the bladder properly. http://www.healthywomenguide.com/kegel-exercises.html

* Kegel exercises are easy to do and can be done anywhere without anyone knowing. * First, as you are sitting or lying down, try to contract the muscles you would use to stop urinating. You should feel your pelvic muscles squeezing your urethra and anus. If your stomach or buttocks muscles tighten, you are not exercising the right muscles. * When you've found the right way to contract the pelvic muscles, squeeze for 3 seconds and then relax for 3 seconds. * Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times per session. Try to do this at least 3 times a day. Kegel exercises are only effective when done regularly. The more you exercise, the more likely it is that the exercises will help. * Your doctor may want you to try doing your exercises with biofeedback to make sure you are doing them right. Biofeedback allows you to see, feel, or hear when an exercise is being performed correctly.
