Answer: You're more likely to develop a urinary tract infection after giving birth, particularly if you had a catheter in your bladder or an epidural. Difficulty urinating, painful urination, the feeling that you need to urinate often and urgently but little or nothing comes out, or urine that's cloudy or bloody (signs of a urinary tract infection)
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, and get as much rest as possible to help your body fight the infection.
