Hi there- I'm really struggling. Since giving birth my bowel movement haven't been the same and I have had to resort to laxatives and suppositories to relieve piles and anal fissures. It's starting to get me down. My baby is 5 month and a week old and the last 2 weeks I've been experience constant waves of nausea! I'm not pregnant.
I've also have coccyx pain return- which I had whilst heavily pregnant and has started to come back last 2 weeks too. This has led me in to a massive spiral or anxiety - and I can't stop thinking this is something more sinister and that I won't get to see my baby grow. My partner goes away with work and a lot and although is helpful, he could be more helpful. I can't ask my mum as she was diagnosed with breast cancer a 2 weeks after baby born and has just finished her last bit of chemo. I also can't speak to other new mums as everyone has so much on their plate that I can't confide without feeling like I'm being a nuisance. I breastfeed my baby and give a bottle of formula at night. I'm feeling rather soon and gloom and have heard of new mums putting symptoms down to having a baby and hen these symptoms turn out to be cancer.
I guess I just want someone to say that they've experience unexplained nausea and at 5 months are still suffering with their bowel movements.
I'm really unable to enjoy my time with my baby as I just feel I'm really not well. I'm getting bloods done in 2 weeks but I'm so lost right now.
