Help , pooping

[Newmumalert]

Hi not sure where to go so asking if any other mums had smialr experiances.
5 and a half month postpartum with first child. Induced 2 weeks early. Horrible exprience as foly ballon didnt work so put on meds to start labour. Was over 50 hours in labour epidurla half way threwbefore i was taken for emregancy csection. Im now finding ive had 6 times of accidentaly pooping myself sincs. Feeling alone in the throws of postnatal depression with minimal support and this issue isnt helping . Has any one else had this happen?

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this OP. I’m nearly 9 months PP and have never had this, have you spoken to your health visitor or GP about it? If not I’d really recommend doing so.

Not spoken to gp yet bit embarssed and my lical gp sytems not the best . Hadnt happened in a month or figures it went away.

Sorry you’re feeling like this 💐
Speak to the GP, they should refer you to the coloproctology department at your nearest hospital or a women’s health physio so you can be assessed and see what’s going on. I saw both as had a third degree tear, I didn’t have any accidents but there were times when I needed to go I would need to leg it to the loo or I could have. They helped me with exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor. You may find it embarrassing talking to them, but it’s their job, they won’t bat an eyelid and it’s better to deal with it now than to leave it for years and find it harder to treat.

Don’t feel embarrassed at all!! Please get the help you need. If you have the money, you can do a sort of post natal MOT with a pelvic health specialist which may help.
