I had the same after mine it was agony. It went on for a few months then went away on its own. I spoke to gp and they gave me some Medication meant to relax abdomen muscles that sort of worked hope you feel better soon it’s horrible

thanks for not judging...i had my obgyn check for hemorrhoids... And I didn't have any. Then they said it's muscle spasms and it'll go around it's on but they didn't give me no way of treating it

Are you going to the bathroom? Doing number 2 when it happens

yes and taking stool softeners

I’m on the same boat as you!!!

I take my stool softener right at 8am (my pill only 1 a day)

When I feel it I go to the bathroom and I’m there for an hour relaxing my bum lmdao and have a pillow for my inusion

You and me are on the same boat

And I had my baby Nov 22.

I remember those days. Take your stool softener & ibuprofen and drink lots of fluids. If youre breastfeeding esp it could be your uterus shrinking as well. It will be over soon.

Pelvic floor therapy! I had butt cramps too and was generally pretty tight down there, which made sex uncomfortable. I ended up doing pelvic floor therapy and it helped a lot

i will try that thanks

ikr...my kids think I'm coocoo

hey. Im 5 weeks pp. Should i wait for my 6 week checkup first ( i had a C-section) to start the therapy? Is it like an exercise?

Avatar

yes its like some exercise but also you can call first. Also tell your doctor that you are having pelvic floor pain and want a referral to a pelvic floor physical therapist so you can get a recommended person and someone your insurance will cover

Avatar

oh I can't youtube it?

Avatar

you could probably youtube some pelvic floor mobility and relaxation exercises, but a pelvic floor therapist will be able to assess exactly whats going on and give you exercises to do. It could be that something is actually too loose so something else is tightening up to compensate and so if you do the wrong exercises, it might not help and might aggravate the issue. I would honestly invest in the pelvic floor therapy and usually insurance including medicaid will cover that after childbirth

i have Medicaid... The pain is really bad today...ngl

Avatar

check to see if a pelvic floor therapist is covered for you!! I know it differs by state

I think my coccyx is injured. Im going to a physical therapist tomorrow if i can...obgyn didn't help

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
