Okay so this is a tad embarrising but i gotta ask....:redface:
since i had DS i experience excutiating "bowl movements" before it actually is there to come omg :redface: bad.. and some times it happens with "gas" to has this happedned to ne one else since they gave birth if so do you kno why??:redface:
Oh that cant be fun. It's never happened to me but I'll give my 2cents anyway. Have you tried drinking cranberry juice? I hear that ccan fix up your insides. Maybe??????
Good luck anyways
Really common. And ouchy! :hug: Do all those things that will keep your poop nice and get-outable, like eating fibre, kiwifruit, sultanas...what else does it? And DRINK!!! Water water water! If you're breastfeeding, and recovering from birth, you will get easily dehydrated and that is a big part of the problem. So for the meantime avoid diuretic drinks (which encourage water to leave your body) like tea, coffee, coke and focus on water, cordial, juice (if you're bfing too much OJ can give bub nasty acidic nappy rash, trust me I learned the hard way with my first bub!), and milky drinks.
If it's really that bad, you might need to nick to the chemist/supermarket for something like metamucil or a suppository.
Sounds like you are a little dehydrated. Pear juice works a treat - supermarkets sell it in a bottle and it works fairly quickly to help soften things up.

AHH! Sam! You brilliant woman, I forgot about pear juice! I drank heaps after my second bub (it was over a year ago in my defence), and it was great. At my local stores it came in a tin, for some reason.
definitely try pear juice!! it comes in a tin, or sunraysia does a 'pear juice Crush' which is divine and i found very effective!!!
Oh man, I had that too, but I wasn't even constipated at all so no idea why it hurt so much but it was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pain could be from other things such as a hemorrhroid or a fissure. Very common after birth. They often resolve on their own, but sometimes need medical attention. If it persists or you have alot of bleeding i'd go to drs.
its not a hemorroid but it could be the other thing coz i did have to aev an anal reconstruction :redface: after my delivery and i have been told that they did stich me up too tight!!!
but its inside not when it comes out and i not constipted!! i do number 2s more now after i ha dDS
I am not surprised it hurts if you had to have a few stitches. It will take a bit of time to heal properly. ouch! Until then, high fibre diet will help.
If it is really, really excruciating, you should go and talk to you dr. especially given you had a bit of trauma.
Oh. So if you tore your anus and they needed to sort you out, that would do it. Did you have to go back for follow up appts so they can make sure you're healing well?
Maybe if you're not sure, you can go back and ask someone to check things out? Don't feel embarrassed, better to get it checked out if you're worried.
Do you mean you get bad cramps in your bowels before you do a poo? Similar to period pain but it kind of ripples across your whole stomach?:
but its inside ...
If so, I have not found ANYTHING to avoid it. Fibre doesn't help because it makes bowels move more often, so more pain. Also that once I need to go I neeeeeed to go. The pain inside is ridiculous and only goes away after?
I had the same as what CM is talking about. Horrible!! But it was gone after a few weeks.
yes thats the pain cookie!!! i really didnt explain my self well at all!! thanks for getting what i was saying!!! yes like if i think i gotta go the i GOTTA GO!! then yes no pain do you get it a bit with gas too??
oh i get that
its horrible, i feel like someone is pulling adn twisting my insides and that then if i dont go adn sit on teh loo ill have an accident
its bad now as i worry because im so early in my pregnancy that something has gone wrong.
do u get the nauseated feeling with it aswell?
i have had this since DD was born almost 2 years ago and found no relief from it at all.
its higher up in my stomach so not at the passage out but like near my belly button.
buscopan helped a little but didnt fix it cant live on 6th hourly busconpan for my life lol
If by that you mean am I going to vomit every time I am doing my business? I have to have a bucket with me in the loo now, WTH?:
do u get the nauseated feeling with it aswell?
Yeah, gas too. :redface: A more balanced diet and healthy eating (= more bowel movements) has only made things worse.
yep thank god the sink is opposite the toilet:(
wish i had cure or something to help
hmm i thort the nausiated thing was cause of the quick wave of pain..but maybe not!!
