Find out how to reduce the chance of
suffering from bladder and bowel problems after giving birth...
A recent study found that up to
34 per cent of women are suffering from
incontinence three months after delivery, yet few are aware that
professional help is available. But in most cases, the condition can
be cured.
 A
leaflet
has been published as part of the rolling National Continence Awareness
Campaign, a Department of Health-backed initiative to publicise this
very common but little discussed condition and highlight the help that
is available to the three million people in the UK affected by it.
The Continence Foundation, a national charity dedicated to helping
people who have some problem with bladder or bowel control in their
adult lives, has worked with babyworld to reproduce that information
here.
When you are pregnant, advice is thrown at you from all quarters.
It can be very confusing. But there is one aspect of pregnancy and birth that few people
think about. For a small number of mothers, the joy of having a new
baby is clouded by difficulties – usually temporary – of unwanted
leakage from the bladder and occasionally from the bowel.
The risks are not very great, but there is no point in failing to
take these simple steps to reduce them.
