Not sure if this is the right place but didn't want to post in childbirth and scare people!
My lovely baby was born a week ago by forceps. She was 10lb 5oz and her shoulder got stuck so it was all quite physically traumatic and I got a 3rd degree tear. I've since been having problems identifying when my bladder is full and also with holding in urine. I'm having to wear tena lady pads :( I've seen the physio and am doing the excercises she recommended. I know it's early days but I'm only 23 and am just terrified I'm going to be incontinent for the rest of my life.
Anyone had a similar tear and recovered fully?
