Aibu to ask you about needing to pee ??!!

[daisymunchero]

So I have a question that I just wanted to float to see if this is normal apologies in advance if this is tmi! Since I had my ds the need to pee feels different, I know that I need to go but I don't know how much I need to go if that makes sense ? It's like the sensitivity has been affected somehow & it means that often when I do pee I end up peeing buckets because I've got to the stage of being very full without knowing. I'm just wondering if this is normal after childbirth or something that I should look into ?

It is normal but should improve. Best to try to go often, whether you want to or not, otherwise you might find it's too late.

I think I have this a bit.

I also have random very small leaks now and then which seem to come from nowhere, when I don’t even feel aware of needing a pee?! I’ve never ever not made it to the toilet in time when needing a pee, and I can stop mid flow at any point... sex doesn’t feel ‘looser’.. I just have these couple of random symptoms?

This is very common after childbirth. It usually resolves itself given time. When was your baby born?

As in my pelvic floor is strong enough that I can stop on demand (not that anyone usually is insisting I do this)

Sometimes the leaks happen just 10 minutes after going to the damn toilet, it’s like I’m not able to fully empty my bladder but I don’t feel like there’s anything left?!

What I sometimes get is if I have a wee, if I remain on the toilet looking at my phone about 3-5 minutes later I will have another wee. It’s as though I don’t fully empty my bladder the first time, even though it feels like I have.

Elephant17 you sound similar to me

Oh well I'm glad that it's normal ! DS is 16 months I don't have any leaks which i know is lucky, it's just that I don't seem to know how full my bladder is anymore. There had been a few times that after peeing I've been so full that it's painful when I empty if that makes sense ?

Someone told me that once you think you have finished, rocking your pelvis forward and trying to go again and then back should get more out.

Elephant & sky 100% on the not emptying fully first time if I sit for a min or too I can always go again, I always do this before bed to be fully empty for the night !!
