op here. I can totally relate!


It took a looooongggg time to get back that feeling of natural peeing like almost a year after 6 months it was better but when I had sex or did a weird ab activity that feeling of not wanting to go and having to push the pee out came back.

I mentioned it to my OB and she said nerves and big big baby pushing on bladder for a long time I had a 9 pound baby through 41 weeks.

You can do tests but also give it time.

a pelvic floor issue was ruled out for me. I was examined by a Urogyno - no issues there.

12:42 here, I should add that I had this (sort of) after vaginal delivery and it resolved completely with pelvic floor PT. I did 4 months, maybe 12 sessions total, all virtual

I am 12 weeks post partum and still exerpeincing urinary issues! I have trouble emptying bladder, have to literally push to get it all out. Its not like a UTI or anyting. Ive been to a urogyno and am getting a procedure to look into my bladder in a couple weeks. He said it might be some kind of temporary nerve issue. Did anyone experience this? Weak stream of urine (sometimes) have to push to get it all out?
