Okay, so I'm one of the few here who does suffer from incontinence..but I had four kids...their weights were-9lb. 1 1/2oz.; 10 lbs 4 1/2oz.; 10 lbs. 5oz.; and the girl 9 lb. 12oz.
And my mom and sis both suffered from incontinence. It can be inherited, I know.
I'm on meds to stop the urge incontinence. It has lessened; the stress incontinence is worse, but it's because of surgery that made it that way, not MS.

I also agree-we can be an informed patient, but just be wary of the self-fulfilling prophecy syndrome. If you keep thinking it will happen to you, then it just might.
MS has many symptoms, and many people experience different things.
Try to concentrate on what you CAN do, not on what you can't...
And tune in here often...lots of great info, lots of laughs, some tears and a whole bunch of hugs!!
