I delivered my baby vaginally 5 weeks ago. I had a third degree tear because he was vacuum assisted- I also had pushed for 2 hours. I am still extremely sore down there. But my worst worry is that I developed urinary incontinence- not just when I cough or sneeze, if I have a heavy bladder I leak completely before I get to the bathroom. I consulted with the urogynacologist and she showed me pessaries and also discussed surgery but that cannot be done if if I want more kids. am worried that this is a big change to my quality of life and I will never get better. Has anyone else been through the same and please advise on what helped ? Am badly in need of some support.
