hi everyone, suddenly this morning I’ve started with bad s*its, i dont feel sick or have terrible cramps like you’d expect with a stomach bug so im wondering if this is hormone/post birth related? Anyone else had this? It’s terrible, unless something has just upset my stomach 😬. I had quite a big bleed and had to be given loads of IV fluids, haven’t really had constipation at all, very odd. No fevers or anything either 🤔

Yes I’ve had it! I think it’s kind of related to hormones and drugs in labour etc. it’s vile but I think it happened to me the first time round too

@NotARealWookiie I’d understand with the amount of fluids they had to pump through but it seems very delayed! I did have injections for clotting for 10 days though, half a dose of diamorphine and gas and air and oxytocin I think for contracting or something to do with bleeding no idea I was out of it 😳😂. As long as it’s normal and just an inconvenience I’ll have to just let it flush through, how glamorous.
