Weak bladder: You may have a problem with bladder spasming which is generally treated with medicaitons. You may have a problem with a fallen or weak bladder which is generally treated with sugery. You should have a urologic evaluation.

Common and fixable: Urinary incontinence is very common but should not be considered normal. Leaking can be fixed and it is not something you have to live with. It is important to have a complete evaluation to determine a treatment plan. Start with your obgyn. If the problem is beyond the scope of their experience then they will refer you to urogynecologist or urologist.
