I am embarrassed to make this post, but I really need advice.

My son is 17 months old, and he is my first. I’ve never had any issues with incontinence the entire 17 months post partum. But my fiancé and I are sick with severe coughing fits, and I keep peeing on myself. I wish I could say it was just a little bit, but it’s so much. I am leaking through my underwear, onto my pants, and therefor onto whatever I am sitting on. It’s embarrassing and awkward. I’ve had to invest in panty liners.

Is it just because I’m coughing SO hard? Will it stop once I’m feeling better? Is this a bad thing medically? I really don’t know, as I’ve never had this issue.
