(27F) I’d like some advice on pads or diapers to wear that can take a lot of urine. My bladder essentially completely voids anytime I stand up, I’ve been wearing poise pads super absorbency but they don’t always stop a large amount.
Backstory, my OB left the Foley catheter in too long during delivery and it was pulled out with the balloon fully intact. I had another foley placed for about a week to help my bladder relax, ended up with a UTI, and now it’s out and just want to stop peeing on the floor and all over myself :/

FTM, just gave birth a few days ago and the OB left the foley in until baby was crowning, in which the balloon ended up being pulled out through my urethra fully inflated (I was also very swollen when it happened). Every time I got out of bed in recovery I voided everything as soon as I stood up. They put another foley in to give my bladder a rest for almost a week, even though it still leaks around the foley due to the dilation from injury. My mom (an L&D nurse with similar pelvic injuries during birth ) thinks I’m absolutely screwed and going to need surgery. If someone else who has gone through this could share their outcome, how long recovery took, and if they needed surgery I’d greatly appreciate it! Trying to enjoy postpartum with a giant foley bag is already upsetting without trying to think about not having control of my bladder for an unknown time
