I gave birth 6 months ago to baby number 3 and have been rigorously doing pelvic floor exercises since and I can feel that my muscles are getting stronger. My problem is, every time I go to the toilet to pee, when I've finished I stand up and more urine leaks out, also when I am laying down and sit up it leaks a little. I don't have a problem with coughing, sneezing or jumping, nothing leaks at all. Has anyone else experienced this?

Speak to your GP there are a lot of causes and it's important to seek the correct treatment. It isn't necessarily caused by weak pelvic floor muscles. You could be doing all that work and it's not the cause.
Also make sure you lean forward so your elbows are resting on your thighs when weeing. Apparently that's the way your supposed to sit.
I had that problem after my 2nd miscarriage (2 within a year - 2 curettage and 1 hysteroscopy) and I seemed to need to pee every time I stood up. It took about a year to take care of itself. I did the pelvic floor exercises and started sitting forward more as others suggested. Talk to your GP just to be safe.
My youngest is 8 nearly 9 and this happens with me. I am slack at my pelvic floors. And I notice it happens more when it's that time and I have a tampon in.
Best exercise is when you go to the toilet is pee a bit and stop ... Do it 3 times every time and that will help that problem... What our bodies go through ha!
