Help! do i call the doctor?

[Sarah:)]

I am just after a bit of advice to see if its just me over reacting.

I had my bub by c-section a wk and a 1/2 ago, everything was good in hospital eg going to the toliet and eating but then yesterday and today i have been feeling a twinge when i pee, i am not sure if its a bladder infection or something else, also when i got up this morning it was uncomfortable to do a number 2 to start off with and pass wind. now i feel fine besides when i sit on something hard which is getting me thinking it could be a hemeroid (which i have never had) or something. I know the doctor told me in hospital that since i went to the loo everything was working normal down there which means nothing went wrong on the op table.

should i call the hospital or have a ural for bladder infections and wait and see what happens tonite.

Thanks and sorry if its 2 much info

I don't think it would hurt to just call your maternity ward & speak with a midwife. They could at least put your mind at ease.

at 10 days post section if you are concerned then it would not be a bad idea to at least call the hospital and speak to a midwife, describe what is happening. They will have access to your records and will let you know if you should take any action.

I agree it is best to call, if only to put your mind at ease.

When I had DD1 I too had never had any problems with hemorrhoids but about two weeks post CS I got the worst hemorrhoid and also fissure, so painful. So this unfortunately could be the case, unsure about the pain when weeing, maybe you are right about a UTI.

I hope it clears up for you soon.

It wont hurt to contact a Dr or your hospital JIC it is an infection starting or something you want to get on top of it as quick as you can.

How did you go Sarah?

I'm 6 weeks post c section and last week I started off with the same symptoms as you. At first it started as if my cervix was being pinched a lil, then my bum started hurting, especially when sitting on hard chairs. Then I started getting lower left abdominal pain (where my bowel is) and it's been absolute agony! I went to the docs first time he told me to take nurofen, second time he told me to take Buscopan, third time I saw a different doc who told me to take Buscopan Forte, took some blood and has booked me an ultrasound for tomorrow. Nothing has worked, the only relief I get is if I pass wind or have a bowel movement. He said he 'think' it might be adhesions forming around my bowel from the surgery, apparently it's very common but it's the worst pain I've ever had. Worse than labour, migraine and even toothache. I put up with it for a whole week before going to the docs, as I'm at home all day with bubs and doing all the weekly night time feeds as hubby takes over on weekends. But it's really starting to worry me now, especially when a wave of pain hits while I'm carrying bubs!

Hope you have found out what is causing your problems, if I get an answer tomorrow I will jump back on here and let ya know in case it's similar
