Nerve damage 10 days after delivery?
April 6th, 2009 by Clint & Mindy

Hopefully someone besides me has had or atleast heard of this problem!! I had my son on 3-26 after a 24 hour labor and 3 hours of pushing. This is my 2nd child, my dd is 19 months and was an easy delivery and recovery. About 8 hours after having Andrew I decided I needed to pee, well….I couldn’t. Nothing at all, not even a drop. So the nurses chalked it up to me still being drugged from the epidural etc. and put a catheter in. Well 8 hours later they took it out and told me to try to push fluids and try to pee every 2 hours. Again, after 6 hours, nothing. My stomach was hurting, my back was cramping and I felt like crap. So the dr. comes in and says I may have some nerve damage to my bladder and puts me back on the catheter and sends me home. So here it is 10 days later and I got to take the cath out this morning but still have trouble peeing. I can drink a ton of water but have no real feeling of having to go and when I can it’s only a very little bit that comes out. Anyone ever heard of this? I’ve got to call the dr. back at 2pm and let him know how things are going but I can’t walk around with a catheter attached to me forever and I know if I tell him I’m having trouble that he will put it back in. Hope this wasn’t tmi, just hoping I’m not the only one who’s ever had this happen! Thanks for reading!
