You will realize that once you get into labor one of the concerns of the midwife is to make sure you are urinating to keep your bladder empty.

A full bladder when you are in labor can prevent your baby’s head from descending and thereby cervical dilation may occur slowly. This ends up causing a delay in the birth process

After the birth of the baby, the uterus has to contract. A full bladder will also prevent the uterus from contracting.

If you are going to have a cesarean section the bladder is also kept empty to prevent injury during the procedure. This is done be inserting a catheter

All this is because the urinary bladder is just situated in front of the uterus and if not emptied can cause several problems like, prolonged labor and bleeding after birth. It can also be injured if it’s not empty during surgery
