Williams (2004) said new mothers with
SUI would, ideally, have the condition
identified by the midwife; assessment and
advice should follow, with health visitors
providing advice and referring to the continence
advisor as necessary. Mason et al
(2001) also reported that women felt contact
with health professionals stopped too
soon and they were left “high and dry”.
Although the literature is clear on the
potential problems that can occur after
childbirth, there is little on how to prevent
potential continence problems
