Dragging pain in ureathra after birth

[kipper31]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. It is now a week since I gave birth and in the last few days I have developed a 'dragging feeling' when I get up after lying or sitting down, makes me feel like I need a wee straight away. Any ideas what this could be? I haven't had any problems passing urine but did have a catheta in after the delivery.

THanks

I had the same, I think I was simply swollen and irritated downstairs. It passed slowly. IF you're worried though speak to your midwife,

I had similar for a while, midwife said it was because it was bruised from the catheter. Might be worth asking your midwife about it though in case it's an infection?

ive hadthis aswell and sometimes it felt like it was being squeezed really tight. midwife didnt know aht it was at 1st it eventually went by itself

I had this for a few weeks after ds2 (also had a catheter).

I just made sure I drunk plenty water and it went away of it's own accord, but no harm in mentioning it to your midwife.

Congratulations btw
