Incontinence after Birth
Had a very long and exhausting birth filled with failed epidurals 🤦🏽♀️ 3 days later and I’m still experiencing incontinence when I stand up, cough etc. This is definitely not a topic ANYONE ever mentioned!
Anyone experienced this?

@Kassia had a pretty strong PF prior. But also had an almost 48 hr labour 🤦🏽♀️
Pregnancy and delivery can really take its toll on your pelvic floor! Even the strongest ones may suffer 🥲 My mom still pees when she sneezes 🤣 BUT she never did pelvic floor exercises after birth. Don’t be like my mom!
I defs did with my first! Especially with coughing and sneezing took a while with exercise to get back to normal
You may still be a tad swollen and tender down below which can sometimes cause temporary incontinence. Maybe ask your midwife about it. They might ask to check you to see if there's anything wrong.

This happens if you have a weak pelvic floor, fairly common after pregnancy. Do pelvic floor exercises to improve this ☺️
