During Ulrika Jonsson's research in to Light Adult Incontinence (LAI), she discovered that she wasn't the only woman that had experienced the condition.

The star talked to one woman, Louise Mills who shared also experienced LAI after childbirth but didn't tell anyone about it at the time, because she was so embarassed.

Ulrika explains: 'She didn't seek help for many reasons. First, she thought this was to be expected after childbirth. As women we are trained to expect pain and suffering on a lifelong scale, but this doesn't have to be the case. Second, she lacked the confidence to draw attention to the problem, either with friends or with her GP, out of sheer embarrassment.'

'Louise's symptoms became so bad that she began to plan her days around her condition - not going anywhere too far from a toilet; being careful not to do too much running, lifting or even walking and being scrupulous about personal hygiene.'

Ulrika has also kept quiet about her incontinence until now, it is a shame so many women feel embarassed by the condition because it is so common.
