Are you more susceptible to incontinence after pregnancy if you were incontinent as a child?

Just something I've always wondered!

As a child i had a condition called enuresis - i was still wetting the bed until i was 15. aside from wrecking my self-confidence (living in a body over which you have no control really isn't fun) for all of my childhood, this is something i've begun to wonder. i'm now 25 and have grown out of it, but i'm aware that after childbirth, it's quite common to lose some control over your bladder muscles and there's excercises you can do to restrengthen them. but if you've had enuresis as a child, is this more difficult to regain, or are you stuck with a lifetime of incontinence? can this be avoided by caesarean?

i do not care how rewarding natural motherhood might be, if it means condemning myself to incontinence for the rest of my life, i will adopt.

just for the record, i'm single - i plan to be settled and married before i consider bringing children into the world - i'm just intrigued to know if it's going to be a case of history repeating itself if i do.

i never had a problem with incontience after delivering, but those muscles are a little weaker after delivery. best thing you can do is the kegal exercise which is ( in lamants terms of course) when you are peeing, try to stop peeing completely (especially in mid stream) these are good to strenghten those muscles for delivery and keep doing them after delivery for the control of your bladder. i did and had no problems.
