Pelvic floor exercises can dramatically reduce and often eliminate the problem altogether.
The pelvic floor is a complex web of muscle tissue, ligaments and fascia. It forms a broad sling, which runs front to back and is attached principally from the pubic bone in the front to the coccyx (tailbone) at the back. There are various openings in it to allow the passage of urine, stools and babies. The pelvic floor muscles support the uterus, vagina, rectum and bladder which are stabilised by the ligaments and fascia. They also help to control the outlets or sphincters and have a role in sexual fulfilment. The basic exercise is a ‘squeeze and lift’ - the closing and drawing up of the back and front passages. Women are often asked to imagine that they are trying to stop passing wind. It is important to do this without squeezing your buttocks or thighs together and without holding your breath. Only the muscles of the pelvic floor should be working. First you need to establish your 'starting block' i.e. the number of contractions and repetitions you can do. Tighten the muscles as hard as you can and hold for as long as you can, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. Rest for four seconds. Repeat (tighten, hold, release) as many times as you can, up to a maximum of 10 repetitions. The starting block varies with each individual, e.g. you might be able to tighten and hold for a two second hold and four repetitions. Whatever your starting block is you should repeat this routine as often as you can throughout the day - six times is recommended. Additionally practice short quick contractions so that your muscles are able to react quickly i.e. when you laugh, cough or sneeze. As your muscles get stronger you will find that you are able to hold for longer and increase the repetitions. Build up to 10 repetitions, holding each for 10 seconds as well as the 10 short quick contractions. You may begin to see improvements within two weeks. However it can take up to three months to strengthen the muscles. Results are directly proportional to the amount of exercise you do.

There is nothing wrong - just lots of gas and coughing makes it harder to hold in! And maybe she's doing it on purpose?
