I busted wanted to give other new mummy's/ pregnant ladies a word of caution.
I gave birth on the second- midwife said my episiotomy made me look like I'd been kicked by a horse and as is normal, my bum was a bit swollen. I felt I needed 'to go' but I have ibs and going can be difficult at the best of times so they gave me some lactulose. Did NOT warn me it could cause explosive diarrhoea!
6 hours after giving it me, had terrible tummy rumblings. Was feeding new born son, and had to run to the loo (luckily I'd been given a private room). But it was too late. I have never been so glad to be wearing an adult nappy (maternity pad!).
Just a word of caution!
