Looking for some reassurance or similar situations pleaseee. Had DS2 4 weeks ago fast forcep delivery and haven’t been able to wee since. Was sent home with leg bag catheter for 3 weeks, 3 failed TWOCS each time my bladder got so full felt like it could burst and over 1ltr drained each time. Had the urge and felt like it was right there but just wouldn’t come out. I have now been self catheterising for almost a week and can only manage literally drips myself in between nothing more. Finding it difficult to juggle with a toddler and newborn and it’s obviously really getting me down. I don’t feel like I will ever be back to normal and there doesn’t seem any urgency at the moment to find out what’s actually wrong with me. Google doesn’t seem to have a clue either! Sad please help

I had my little boy just under 2 weeks ago, via forceps I had catheter in whilst in theatre my hospital made sure I could wee before I got sent home, maybe worth going and seeing your go or ring triage

Hi I just came across your post and am in the same situation and wondered how you got on?
