Has anyone had?

HI,

This is pretty personal but I was wanting to know if anyone has had to have a vaginal sling put in after delivery?

My pg. was great but instantly after delivery there was a major problem. I was 100% incontinent. It took 10 months to get surgery and 5 months to heal,it has worked but I worry about working out and then having another baby. I will have to have a section but that's not the problem, the weight of the baby could tear the sling and it could happen all over. I can't describe how bad it was. I became extremely dehydrated, pretty much stopped drinking fluids and then because I couldn't really do anything I gained all my preg. weight back and then some.

So now I am good but it doesn't seem like anyone else has had this problem. I know it's not the norm for 1st pregnancies but I was just wondering if anyone else had the issue.

If you have had this happen but don't want to post then you can email me

Thanks

Mandy

I have not, but I do hope the best for you and that soemone else with this problem can answer your questions.
Have you tried a board on here for complications from pregnacies? I am sure they have a board for something like this that you can ask other people.

((((((Mandy))))))

bless your heart!!!! I have never heard of this before, but it sounds just miserable, not to mention dangerous :o(.

I hope someone here can help you, but if not, here are a couple of boards you might check out:

Negative Birth Experiences: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppnegbirth

and

Labor and Delivery: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-pplabor

Have you talked to your doctor about any of your concerns?

Thanks for the boards. I have checked out the neg. births one but haven't received a resp.

I have spoken to my Dr. about it extensively but since she hasn't gone thru it I was hoping to talk to someone who had.

thanks
