TMI

My baby is 3 months next week. I had a vaginal birth, easy, a 2nd degree tear. Was out that afternoon from giving birth. It hurts when I poo 3 months after, like agony! Is this normal? Could they of missed a tear ?

I had a vaginal birth no tears but have been getting internal and external piles on and off for 14 weeks! I dread going to the toilet! So far I’ve just been using the stuff for the chemist and hoping it will eventually go. You know what it’s like getting a gp appointment these days!

I had a vaginal birth and suffer with piles. I used to cry whenever I had to go to the toilet. Definitely, speak to your GP as if you by any chance happen to push too hard they can burst and cause an infection

I had a c section, and I struggled to poo for the whole time I was healing, a good 7 weeks. See your doctor if you're not sure how to deal with piles. I'm used to it due to another condition I have, so I get over the counter stuff, however with your stitches, I'd go to the doctor.
