I had a C. Section 4 days ago, under spinal anaesthetic but they did put an epidural catheter in as well, in case the procedure turned out to be longer than expected, but it was unused and removed.
Since then I have had no problem weeing although it feels a little odd. Pooing was a bit more of an ordeal, but not because I am constipated, but because I can't push!!! I can't feel when, or where, I am pushing! I know I need to go and when I am actually going, and can control it (so I am not incontinent - thank Goodness) but the sensation of trying to push is really weird, almost like it isn't in the 'right' place.
Anyone heard of this/had it before? How long does it last? I know it's early days yet and imagine it will improve, much like the surface scar numbness will, but it is awful in the meantime
