I had my baby 3 days ago and on 2 occasions have felt a gush of liquid flow out with no control, kidded myself it was remnants from womb and not urine. Then today my DH made me laugh when i was standing up and i completely wet myself - absolutely no control whatsoever. I am totally freaking out now and really upset.
I had stress incontinence and cervical/vaginal prolapse after birth #1 but never complete loss of bladder control.
My birth #2 was precipitous- 3cm to baby out in 20 mins, but only 3 pushes compared to 2 hours of pushing last time. 2nd degree tear and stitches both times. I feel generally much much better downstairs this time than last time so im confused about what is going on.
I had a catheter put in for about 5 mins after the birth as the placenta wasnt delivering and they said my bladder might be full and it needed to be empty to help the placenta come out. My bladder had been full. Could this/the catheter have something to do with it?
