Have any of you had bladder retention (and needed a catheter) in labour/late preg...

[mumofdjandbabies]

If so how did it affect you/your labouring/oreg?
And was it spotted quickly/dealt with?

Just wondering as I did....

I had this just after labour. It was not spotted quickly enough - night mw just patronised me and told me to have a shower! I did get cathetered during labour before having the ventouse for some reason.

no experience of bladder retention but i had a catheter during labour as baby pressing on my back and i couldn't pass water. tbh i barely noticed going in and coming out.

and it didn't prevent me from having a relatively active labour.

ah ok was wondering how common it is!
Dping my own poll ha ha
