No urge to pee after giving birth
I have no urge to pee after giving birth (vagina delivery). I only pee when I need to change the sanitary pads. Not too sure whether it is due to the stitches down there. Is it normal? :/
Yes, that’s normal, peeing for a few days after birth can get really uncomfortable. I too didn’t experience any urgent need to pee. Doctors say that the first pee after delivery is crucial. A nurse was there with me to check how much urine I passed. The doctor later inserted a catheter to make sure that my bladder was properly drained. If you feel pain while peeing even a few days after delivery or if you feel a strong urge to pee but can only pee in small amounts or if you have a fever, contact your doctor immediately - it could be a urinary tract infection.
