The baby is just about a month old. The days have mostly been a blur, to tell you the truth.
Two weeks ago, I went to the OB's office to have the incision inspected. While I was there, I asked if bladder irritation was a common side effect of a cesarean. After a few follow-up questions, Dr. F. handily diagnosed my problem as Forgetting To Go.
So, that cleared that up.

Forgetting to go to the bathroom is one of the more interesting side effects of new motherhood. I am going to be more aware of this now that I know it could actually lead to a more serious problem!
So true, so true...and so sad! Don't forget also: take care of yourself!
Sometimes I forget to eat, too. Strange things. Good luck clearing things up!
But shouldn't your body be used to that from teaching? I assumed that all teachers probably had bladder problems because they never have time to go when they really need to!
you'd think that i'd be used to it from teaching, but it seems my month off really conditioned me to go when i pleased. ;)
