Pelvic floor - when does it return?

Dd is 12 days old. DS was an emcs, and so, despite crowning and pushing with him, my pelvic floor was fine.

Had a lovely vbac this time, and although I'd say the pelvic floor is still in decent condition (no tears or anything, and I can hold my wee - tbh I have to push to have a wee Blush), I'm doing my kegels, but am unable to stop the wee mid-flow.

Just wondering when I can expect to start to see/feel an improvement? I know it's early days!

I'm 7 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor has definitely improved in that time. Haven't tried to stop the wee recently but I vomited a couple of days ago and managed not to wee on the bathroom floor!
