It's completely normal to feel a bit apprehensive about peeing for the first time after giving birth. Your body has just gone through a major event, and it takes some time for everything to settle down.
Here's what you can expect:
- You may feel a bit sore or tender. This is due to the stretching of your pelvic floor muscles during labor and delivery.
- It might take a little longer to urinate. This is because your bladder might be a bit sluggish after the birth.
- You might need to go more often than usual. This is because your body is still recovering from the fluid shifts that occurred during labor and delivery.
- You might feel a bit of burning or stinging. This can be caused by swelling or irritation in the urethra.
It's important to listen to your body and take it slow. Try to relax and let your body do its thing. If you're having any difficulty peeing, or if you're experiencing pain or burning, talk to your doctor or midwife.
