Why is it so painful to have a poo ?!

I’m 11 days postpartum, had a planned csection and I’ve now had my 4th poo (sorry tmi) and everytime it’s been VERY painful

Is this normal? I don’t remember this from my last csection!

What can I do to help myself? 🫣

I feels like a lifetime ago (only a year) but I don’t remember mine being too uncomfortable. I drank a lot of peppermint tea though, not sure if that helped or not - the midwife at the hospital suggested it to help me with gas haha
