Urinary Problems After Pregnancy

I have this problem, too, just as bad as you in fact. I have had 3 kids, and by the third it had gotten so bad that I wet myself sometimes if I sneezed. And jumping on a trampoline! Wow! There is a surgery they can do that will fix it, but they won't do it unless you are not going to have anymore children, because apparently childbirth tears the stiches and makes the surgery useless. Seeing as how you only have one child, you probably aren't ready to stop having children. I'm going to graduate from college in December, and as soon as I go to work and get health insurance, the FIRST thing on my list is the surgery (my tubes are tied). There is also medication that is supposed to help with incontinence. Ask your doctor. I have no insurance right now, so I just live with it. If I'm going somewhere and going to have to do a lot of walking, or if I'm sick, I just try and remember pads and a change of pants. My nickname with my brother is potty pants for christ sake (I threw up on a trip one time and lost complete control). Good luck to you.

I would go to my doctor and have it checked out.

There is a problem that can occur when you have a baby, a dropped bladder. I am not sure if that is the proper name for, I know there is a surgery that can be performed. You should ask your Dr. I have it slightly not as bad as you but if i were you i would see a dr and see what your options are. I hope this helps.

I am a registered nurse that works labor and delivery. From what I read I think that you need to consult your ob/gyn about this. I can also tell you that this probably has nothing to do with the tearing of your perineal area. It has to do with how the bladder was stretched during delivery and your muscle to urinate. I have always done the kegel exercises. That is when you stop and start the stream when you urinate.
