Ok so bit of history... I had my eldest child almost 15 years ago.. long labour, which ended in episiotomy and forcep delivery.. I have always said I was never the same again down there.. the recovery was awful and painful. However I made a good recovery and went on to have another child 4 years later, normal birth, no complications.
I have always had a weak bowel since the first birth. If I needed the loo then I had to go quickly, it was a pain If I was out and about but completely manageable.
However over the last few months I have very little control over my bowel. This week alone I’ve had 3 accidents, the muscles to hold it in just won’t work or aren’t strong enough. I’m going to have to go to the GP but I just wandered how common this is especially after a birth involving forceps etc..
Thank you
