Answer
A small amount of urine leakage is normal for several weeks following
delivery. Nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor are sometimes slow to
recover following pregnancy and birth. It is important that you start
pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises as soon as possible following delivery.
The exercises will help strengthen the pelvic floor, and reduce
problems with urine leakage. Check with your health care provider if
you continue to experience incontinence problems, or if you are
uncertain on how to do the exercises. You can contact National
Association for Continence at 1-(800)-BLADDER the for pelvic floor
exercises and incontinence information.
