Constant Urge to Pee??

[beanutters]

Hi everyone,

I am currently 5 weeks postpartum and am having this constant urge to pee. It seems to be coming from "down there" not so much from my bladder. I stopped breastfeeding two weeks ago. It is not a UTI because my doctor tested for it and it came back negative. She told me this is normal and that I need to do Kegals. I do not have any prolapses. My question to everyone is, did anyone else experience this? If so, how long does it last? Thanks!!!!

I felt this for a while when I had my son. I was just advised it was because of everything (including urethra) being a bit bruised. Definitely keep up with the kegals. I think mine lasted at least 2 months because I still had it when I referred to a physiotherapist (because of tearing) at 8 weeks post

I had this for about 2 months. I had a 4th degree tear so had a lot going on down there. Just keep up with exercises and when everything starts to tighten again it should ease xxx

Thanks ladies!! I have been searching the internet, not the best idea, and have seen some horror stories about this. People suffering for years, something called irritable bladder, etc. It is so encouraging to hear some stories of it going away in a couple months. In the meantime I am going to Kegal away!!!

If anyone else has any more input I would love to hear about it! Thanks!!

For me it stopped at about six weeks. I was going to bring it up at my appointment at seven weeks but it had stopped by then. There's light at the end of the tunnel!
