potentially embarrassing postnatal question

had my baby 6 weeks ago and still waiting for postnatal checkup. have noticed i still cannot stop my flow of urine once it starts (on the loo, not incontinent!) and if i try it only comes out faster! when i had a look around down there, as you do, i also see that the hole you wee out of(don't know correct anatomical name ) seems quite enlarged. do you think this is something that will correct itself? had catheter during labour as couldn't empty my bladder for whatever reason. am doing pf exercises furiously as i type!

Ah don't be embarrased, trust me many have been there before!

I would suggest mentioning it at your six week check when you go, and keep trying every time you go for a wee.

I had a definite problem after DS2 and a cough or a laugh was likely to cause me to wet myself! It did get better though.

Not sure about the catheter causing any probs, hopefully someone who knows what they are talking about will be along shortly.
