No urge to pee after giving birth

I have no urge to pee after giving birth (vagina delivery). I only pee when I need to change the sanitary pads. Not too sure whether it is due to the stitches down there. Is it normal? :/

Oh yes, it’s perfectly normal. It might be really difficult to pee for a while after delivery, and you might not even be able to sense if your bladder is full.

It’s important though, to pee within six to eight hours of delivery to prevent urinary tract infections. Also make a conscious effort to drink lots of fluids.
