Peeing after a baby

This may be tmi, but anyone else having trouble peeing still because I am. I go pee (it still stings-I had a 3rd degree tear) and then I get up and then a minute later it feels like I peed myself a little. I wear pads still but omg it's annoying. Anyone else have any urinating problems?

  • I don't have any problems peeing or leaking but I had an issue with stinging. I had a 2nd degree year and it stings most when peeing after I walked too much. I put witch hazel water on the pad and didn't get any pain with the next wee. Give it a try.
  • I had a third degree tear and had trouble with leaking for about three weeks.
  • I had pain and frequent urination and my pee was darker and orange tinted.  Turned out I had a UTI and I learned after the fact that since I had to get a catheter after my vaginal delivery that I would be more prone to the UTI. I also had a first degree tear.


  • I'm still having some stinging. It is quite annoying and I hate to use the restroom because of it. I'm hoping it gets better soon.
  • I'm almost 4 weeks pp and I did not tear during delivery. However, I no longer feel when my bladder is starting to get full. I only get the urge to head to the bathroom when my bladder is full and I better start moving NOW. It's super annoying and scary to deal with in public. Especially since my muscles can't hold it back very well.
  • @Casseylemon I'm going on 5 weeks tomorrow :/
