TMI ALERT

Sounds like you have piles, try stool softeners and anusol xx

@Jess i am very embarrassed, is it normal during pregnancy? c x

Are u pushing too much?

@Ameena if i dont it gets stuck and wont come out

Is it constipation? That’s completely normal during pregnancy - I’ve had it both pregnancies. Try not to strain too much. And try and keep hydrated and get exercise, as well as other natural remedies to help ease it. If it stays bad, talk to your GP. It’s very common and normal 🙂

U should get something to soften ur poo as pushing too much and too hard will make u bleed and give u piles in general pregnant or not x

Constipation is really common in pregnancy, you can speak to a pharmacist and get something over the counter. Don’t be embarrassed as they will have seen it a million times, go and get some help. In the meantime, drink lots of water, eat lots of fibre; like weetabix/porridge for breakfast and some dried apricots.

@Elizabeth i think so, theres been times when i have had to manually remove my poo from my backside and its so painful and afterwards i am in so much pain i cannot sit down ill go to my gp as i drink so much a day

Maybe speak to ur midwife and they can recommend something for u to take, trust don’t be shy u not the 1st person to ask them about it x

Replying to your earlier comment, it is so normal! I'm not embarrassed of much but I am slightly conscious of my finace seeing during sex ect, but it is SO common! Xx
