Hi all
I'm expecting my first baby, due Feb next year. Currently struggling with a lot of anxiety around childbirth and the lasting impacts.
I've had an irritable bladder/moderate urge incontinence issues on and off for a few years now. Finally sought professional help about a year ago and have made huge gains in managing this. Now I'm terrified that a natural birth will potentially cause permanent damage as I'm already 'compromised'.
I really would prefer a natural birth, providing I can recover. But I have no idea what's right for me or what the best thing to do is. My midwife is pretty unhelpful...as is my GP.
Has anyone been in a similar position? Any advice? Any tips on where I can get advice?
I'd really welcome personal stories of pelvic floor problems and recovery if anyone is brave enough to share!! 
Thanks!!
