I am having to have a c-section for my second baby due later this year after a very long and brutal delivery of my first baby by 2 failed ventouse, manual rotation and forceps rotation. I have severe urinary stress incontinence as a result (faecal incontinence now resolved-ish)and have tried all treatments, am under a specialist unit and require a TVT (tape surgery to fix constant leaking) to my bladder post baby no.2. I will not be able to have further children after this procedure.
Has anyone else been though this or able to tell me about c-sections....do you have to have a catheter...my enemy!! I am v anxious re: incontinence being even worse post c-section (although better than it would be post vaginal birth! and rectal problems would be permanent...so a definate no-go. Has anyone had a TVT procedure?
Would love to hear.
