i had a very long and painful labor 19 hours officially and three days of painful contractions.
when it came to show time the baby seemed to have moved her face the wrong way and this resulted in a forceps and vacuum delivery,
alongside a pretty massive third degree tear, its been a week since delivery and i havent been able to urinate. ive had catheter after catheter put in and taken out and nothing...
i thought since i was severly constipated that when i emptied my bowels and the painful catheter was taken out for a while i would go but no.
now ive had the thing in 2days in a row and am supposed to keep it in till sunday. do you think il even go then??
if not what happens next im a to be catheterised forever??

I had a similar situation. I had a c-section and somehow my "insides" were swollen and pressing against my bladder or some other part and I couldn't pee either. I was in the hospital for 6 days with a catheter because I couldn't pee.
I felt the same way...will I ever pee again, will I have this cath in forever?
All I can say is slowly I healed and 7 months later I am peeing just fine.
I know it feels awful now but you'll heal - I PROMISE!

Forceps are only used in a problematical delivery that desires more desirable ideas-they're used fairly hardly because maximum mum provide with none more desirable help, only with pushing. If needed, they're going to go with even if forceps or a ventouse extraction (vacuum suction) is needed, and also you'd be requested about it-they ought to describe the adverse outcomes. After a forceps delivery, the newborn's head may be somewhat squashed in structure (the cranium bones are not tightly fastened jointly because its a respectable squeeze interior the start canal so the cranium turns into 'moulded'), and hardly there's a mark on the area of the newborn's head, yet many times forceps are threat-free-the forcep itself is designed to cradle the newborn's head. refer on your midwife or physician about your fears and she or he'll be able to clarify in additional desirable ingredient.

You are probably just very swollen. I had this happen to me with my first and second daughter. I was so swollen from the pushing but I'm sure you are worse than I was since you had to have the forceps and vacuum. Everything will be fine. You just need to give yourself time to heal. Labor and delivery really take a toll on a woman's body.

With the trauma to your urethra it could be a week to two weeks to heal. Your swollen right now.
I had one in for two weeks and every time they took it out I could not urinate. I ended back in the ER over and over. Finally a nurse figured out that I was having a allergic reaction to the latex. They gave me an IV cocktail and things were better. So between healing from having the baby and finding out I had allergies to latex things soon got better.
Hold on Hun, it wont be long. They will not keep that thing in you. lol

It is likely that your bladder is just bruised. Well severely bruised, but not something more serious.
Expect it to get better around the time when a severe bruise would go away for you.. Probably up to 7-10 days would be considered normal. But you know you best.

I think it's time that your doctor started looking for a permanent solution to your problem. I can't help you urinate or tell you what is wrong but I think it would be appropriate for you to ask you doctor to figure out the cause and treat it instead of just cath-ing you over and over.
