Hi everyone, I am new to this site and I'm looking for some advice and reassurance.
I'm 24 and had my first baby 16 days ago, I had a long labour which ended with a forceps delivery. Since then, I have had problems emptying my bladder, I managed to wee by myself 1 week after my son was born but wasn't emptying my bladder completely. I was sent home with an Indwelling catherter to give my bladder a rest. That has been removed today and I have been taught how to self catherterise. I feel as though no one is giving me awnswers as to why this has happened, and when it will get better. I want to enjoy my little boy but feel so uncomfortable and do not want to stray too far from home. Has anyone had similar problems?
Thank you in advance!!
Sarah
