I was also going to suggest peppermint oil. I've heard of the 'trick' being used by doulas and midwives to help mom's in labor empty their bladders.
Ok, this might be a dumb question, but exactly what would you do with the peppermint oil? I had issues peeing in labour and afterward and I am interested in this!
the smell of the oil is supposed to help you relax enough to pee. A few drops into the toilet between your legs or if you can put the drop on your thighs.
I have not yet had to try this, but have heard that it works.
