Have you experienced postpartum stress incontinence?

Question

Answer

As a nurse we are educated that kegels will somehow fix bladder and vaginal tone. Unfortunately this just simply isn't true in all cases and leaves women feeling like if they just did more kegels they would be fine like its something they should just be able to fix! It is unfortunately sometimes just part of "joy" of child birth. Im glad your doctor was honest with you and I hope you find relief!

Answer

This is very common. It can improve over time for some women but if it doesn't that is normal too. Luckily there are some great products on the market :)

Answer

Just do your kegals - and it'll get better and after some months no stress incontenence!

Answer

I've had it quite badly after the birth of my first child, very long labour etc and now every time I cough, sneeze or have to make a sudden movement a bit of wee come out. Have tried kegels and doctors said my pelvic floor tone is excellent so the problem may need surgery but I will have to wait until I have finished having kids to explore further :(
