Not the poo troll honestly. Long term poster who has named changed for post baby stuff.
I had a c section two weeks ago and had no issues with the post birth stool checks where they checked if I was going to the toilet properly. No pain, no discomfort.
From about a week ago I began to experience gas pains and both hard and loose stools (yellow in colour) at the same time. I have had some tearing when I go to the toilet and have been in extreme pain at times sitting down. I have tried to eat a lot of fibre, drink 2.5 litres of water and generally healthily- but have noticed that it is worse when I consume something with dairy. I literally just had to run to the loo with the sweats after eating a chocolate pudding with cream- again, hard and loose stools.
has anyone had anything like this before post c section or vaginal birth? I don’t know if it’s hormones, something structural or if I have developed IBS.
I have been waiting for my midwife to come
tomorrow so will speak to her then.
