6wks pp, pelvic floor, pressure down below...

[misslissa]

Hi,

I'm 5wks pp, had a natural birth and a second degree tear which was stitched.

A few days ago I tried stopping my wee flow and couldn't. It was a bit of a shocker as I just thought I'd be able to... I slowed it slightly but that was it, it kept coming. Is this really bad, I have no reference of what others are like at this point pp?

Also I feel a sort of pressure at the front of my bits, kind of near my clitoris (sorry - cant think how else to describe..) it feels weird and maybe a little bruised. I do feel a bit sore still further back too but I kind of expected that.

Anyone else feel similar?

Hello, I feel the same I get a very heavy feeling at the front like I've been kicked and its bruised it comes and goes.I also had a second deg tear. As for the weeing I Can't hold it like I did but they don't recommend trying to stop urine flow to tighten pelvic floor they recommend practicing like you are trying to stop yourself from farting. lol. x

Hi Nikkia, sounds like we are similar then. From your dates your lo is a week younger than mine.

I've only tried stopping the flow a couple of times to see if I can.

Oh well keep up with the pelvic floor and hope these symptoms improve
