This is a question I'm posting mainly in response to a question from Melrose, but I thought it was quite an interesting one.
3 Years ago I gave birth to my daughter and did so very very quickly (it was so fast that she nearly flew of the table and the midwife had to catch her!). Afterwards I had difficulty weeing because I had pulled the muscles in my bladder, and was kept in hospital for about 3 days, during which time I was fitted with a catheter which I had to keep for about 2-3 weeks.
Has anyone else suffered with this?Anyone else had bladder damaged following childbirth?
I didn't have damage as extensive as yours but I still suffer from incontinence on a daily basis. If I sneeze, laugh or cough I "leak" a small amount of urine. I've tried doing kegels for 3 months, no difference. I am reduced to wearing "poise" pads to keep my secret from revealing itself. It is very embarrassing and I will bring it up to my Doc this week when I go in for my yearly exam.
I have not suffered with this personally, but I do know that some forms of incontinence like the kind from childbirth can be helped by a physical therapist that specializes in woman's health. Check with your physician, there is a lot more out there than just kegals.
