Hi all,
I gave birth 11 days ago (woohoo, I have a beautiful son!). The birth was quite quick but difficult- he got stuck and needed ventouse delivery, it all happened very very quickly.
My urinary continence has generally been ok since- I had one "full accident" a couple of nights after my son was born, as I couldn't put him down anywhere quickly enough, but other than that I have managed to get to the toilet in time every time and have had minimal leakage. However...I can't stop the flow of urine once it starts. You know how usually, when sitting on the loo peeing, you can clench and stop the flow? Yeah, I have no ability to do that whatsoever.
So just wondering really...has anyone else experienced this after childbirth and, if so, was it temporary? Or am I doomed to a level of incontinence my whole Life? :(
Ps my boy is absolutely wonderful, so obviously worth it!
