I'd bet my 'bottom dollar' that un-medicated vaginal births have very few long term incontinence problems. I once spoke to an MD who claimed that c/s was the best way to avoid this problem. He is a surgeon who does the repair work on prolapsed bladders, he said, "Annie, it's a proven fact, our hospital did a huge study, c/s moms have less incontinence" my reply was, "Did they separate medicated from unmedicated?" He said "No" I said, "then the study was flawed." Yeah, we don't talk much anymore! Comments anyone?
