When comparing third-trimester sonography to 3\u00a0months after delivery, bladder neck mobility increased significantly in each delivery group and hiatal area increased significantly in the VD group. A LAM avulsion was found in two women after VE.

Urinary incontinence was most common with 15% and 11% of cases at 3, respectively, 12\u00a0months after delivery. 42% of women reported discomfort during sexual intercourse, 3\u00a0months after delivery and 24% 12\u00a0months postpartum.
