6 weeks ago I had a rapid birth, 5 hour labour and only 12 mins of involuntary pushing, and dd literally shot out like a greased pig, weighing over 8lbs.
My pelvic floor was annihilated to say the least and was numb for over a week. Initially, my bladder control was very poor, with several mortifying accidents, but with lots of pelvic floor exercises, I'm mostly in control now - sneezing and coughing are still a problem and I don't dare watch anything funny yet.
Another problem I'm having now is that, despite drinking a lot of fluids, I rarely need to pee and when I do it's only a small amount.
My bladder was a problem during the delivery of the placenta as it was very full (400ml) but I had no sensation to wee at all. My uterus couldn't contract down and the bladder had to be drained. So now I'm worried that I've lost the sensation to pee properly.
Anyone else with similar issues? If so when and how did they resolve? Any long lasting effects? X
