Urinary Tract Care After Delivery

 

It may take a few days for your bladder to return to normal and for you to regain your normal bladder control.  Because your urethra may have been bruised or the bladder overstretched during delivery, you may be more susceptible than usual to urinary tract infections.  Drink plenty of liquids and empty your bladder at least every three to four hours.

It's normal to feel some tingling or slight discomfort when you urinate, but if you feel burning or worsening pain, call your doctor.
