Is it true that I won't be able to control my bladder after pregnancy and delivery?

The loss of bladder control or the involuntary leaking of urine is quite common postpartum. As a matter of fact, you may start to notice a decrease in your ability to control your bladder as you near your due date. But take heart! This issue is temporary and often ends within six weeks to three months after your baby is born. If it doesn't, you should then talk to your physician to see what can be done to help.
