C-section Mommies?

[JennyLynn512]

Just a quick question:

For those of you who had a c-section, did you experience some urinary/bladder issues afterward? I seem to be healing great otherwise, but when I go to use the restroom (pee) I begin peeing and feel fine, but when it gets closer and closer to the end there seems to almost be a tightening feeling (almost as if someone is twisting my bladder) and it gets a little uncomfortable to finish urinating. But I always empty my bladder and as soon as I stand up and am finished, the feeling is quickly gone and I feel fine. Pre-pregnancy I was prone to UTI's and I thought this might be one, but there is no burning, no urgency to go when there is no urine, and no uncomfortable feeling that stays after I use the restroom. It's only at the end of urinating that I feel it. Has anyone experienced this? I know they had to remove my bladder to get the baby out (so I was explained) and when I press on my bladder it is sore, just didn't know if this urinating issue was normal?

I dont think I remember that feeling. I was never told that they removed my bladder tho. Do you know if that is a standard thing they do, or if yours was in a position that they had to? You probably will be having a check up soon right? You might want to ask your doctor then just to make sure its normal. I'm sure it is tho if they removed your bladder.

I had this too and its gone now , never asked about it as i had it with my first and it went in time. Ask the docs when you have your check up put your mind at rest anyway

Had 4 sections and never had this. To remove a bladder is a big operation. Do they mean this or did they have to move it to one side to access the baby? Hope u feel better soon.

Thanks ladies. Yes, the doctor said he had to move my bladder to the side to get to the baby. He said that's how it's always done, I guess? I don't know. This feeling is getting better....I don't have a doc visit until my 6-week check up, but if it continues into this week, I think I may call to get in earlier. We will see

I had a bit of a pain like that too and it faded in a week or so I think. But it might be worth asking a midwife or someone just in case.
