Hi all, I gave birth a month ago and I am still having problems going to the loo.
I couldn't go for about a week after I was discharged from hospital due to the large amount of codeine I had whilst there. When I did go it was soooo painful, however after that it seemed to be improving until today, I have been in agony again and really suffering as completely constipated. It's not easy going to the loo as my DH is at work and looking after a newborn when you are in this state is just not easy.
I am not sure if this is normal or not. I have always had problems with going to the loo as suffer with very bad IBS so I am not sure if it's just something I have to accept or whether anything can be done. I will phone my GP later for an appointment but just wondered whether anyone has an advice?
BTW my diet is very good and I have been eating lots of apricots and bought some All Bran so will give that a go to see if it helps things move
