Hello!

Just wondering if diarrhoea and cramps are normal 6 weeks PP? I keep randomly getting waves to run to the loo, not very pleasant!

Likely not particularly if it's repeated. It might just be a bug or something, likely unrelated to birth, assuming you didn't have complications etc? I'd try and get some OTC meds, have a chat with the pharmacist. Also book a GP appointment if you can.
