Had my baby two days ago, I’ve just had my first poo since, no straining natural bowel movement 😂 however when I wiped there was like a stringy bit of fresh blood, is this normal? My stitches really hurt since and I’m not 100% sure if the blood was from my vagina or my bum. My fresh pad has like my normal blood on it doesn’t seem like excessive bleeding. Just not sure if this is normal or triage worthy call.

Firstly, Congratulations 🎊
It sounds like it might be from your vagina if it's stringy but I'd keep a close eye on it and see if it happens again. Defo something to notify triage about if it's rectal.
thank you 💜 I feel like it probably is from my vagina but I’m worried about every little thing as it’s just so uncomfortable 🥴 x

It's a complete rollercoaster for the first 6 months. Always trust your gut though. If you think something is wrong, speak up. And enjoy every moment x

Could be hemorrhoids, could be from your vagina. Definitely have them have a look, or have your partner look.
