I would try laxatives ! I was orescrived them but you can buy them and I never had to push or pain while pooping. Hope all is resolved soon!
Thanks so much both. I’m on Lactrolose (or however you spell it) which has been helping soften my poops and was working well for the first week. Now, week 2, the pain has begunnnnnn. Glad to hear I’m not the only one this has happened to, but will deffo mention it to my HV ☺️
@Holly definitely it could be the internal bruising, I recommend the op takes some arnica tablets and this might help
How strange as the same thing happened to me with my second c section! It will be 3 weeks on Wednesday but only really today have I been able to go for a poo and it not feel that complete sharp pain. I did mention to my midwife and she also didn’t seem too concerned. Very strange that it happened second time around
Same thing happened to me, I was also given lactoluse which did help, however I was like that for 3 weeks pp then it got better ,but the pain was horrible
Same thing happened to me after my second c-section it lasted about 4-5wks pp and even going wee would hurt so bad. I would be in tears and dreading every time I needed to go toilet. I kept thinking something was wrong like they stitched me up incorrectly inside but by 5wks it started getting better. When I told my health visitor she said it could be to do with my insides being bruised from being clamped apart. I would mention it to your health visitor so she can monitor you more just in case it could be something else.
