Totally incontinent. Anyone been through this?

I am 4 days postpartum and totally incontinent. I am in adult diapers and can barely leave the house. I can't even feel the urge to pee or sensation of peeing. I am doing kegels like crazy. Anyone been through this? Please tell me it will all end soon! It's really starting to affect my sanity.

    I wasn't this extreme but it took a few days before I would stop leaking if I moved the wrong way.

    Did you have a catheter? I think that can be a side effect of catheters. I would call your dr and ask though

    I was just reading about this in one of my specialized books on the pelvis (I'm a prenatal yoga teacher and acupuncturist) it said that sometimes as the organs go back into place the pressure from the uterus and bladder accidentally take each other's place temporarily and become inverted and this causes complete incontinence until it sorts it self out. The good news is it said it does resolve itself over time. The book said to lie on your stomach on a not too soft surface (not on a bed, but on a carpeted floor) and this helps the weight of the uterus to fall forward and resume it's proper place in the pelvis.
    Of course I'm not an md and this would probably be an excellent thing to bring up to your doctor. The book is "the female pelvis" by blandine calais-germain and the page number is pg145. I plan to belly bind post partum (I'm sept 16) and that might help your situation as well to provide positive pressure in the abdomen. So sorry you are going through this, I hope it gets batter asap!

    I had it but not quite as bad as you. I couldn't hold my pee at all. As soon as I felt the urge I peed and couldn't stop it. Lasted close to a week before it finally got better. I'm pretty sure it was due to the catheter.
