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, it’s normal. You are probably scared that it will hurt. Ensure that you drink lots of fluids. If it's hard to start peeing, or if it stings, try pouring warm water over your perineum.
