as the march mummys will know i had katie on 3rd april (12 days late)

i have had my bowles open but have been quite a bit constipated back there.
i also feel like i might have piles? dont know if i have or not and dont know how i would check.
everything is now uncomfy when i sit down..

can anyone recomend anything that can help that wont affect katie as she is bf?

it does sound like you have got piles hun if it is uncomfortable to sit down,

if you go the chemist and tell them you might have piles they will give you something to help eases the pain hun, but not alot you can do really to get rid of them faster.

drink plenty of water and eat lots of food with fibre but remember to drink as much water as well other wise you'll bung up but with the fibre and water it should help you go.

had them before hun i know how painful they can be.

the dr told me not to have hot hot baths cos it can make them worse. and to hold inbetween my viagrana and bum hole you will feel a lump to push that and it will take the pissure of your piles to help you go. cos the more you push the more it gets worse.

i just grin and beared it! i remember the fear of going to the toilet, i would be gripping the sink with the thought of the pain! did you get lactulose when you were in hospital? i found it a godsend, for me, taking it in the morning was best as i always needed to go in the evening and the stuff that had been in my system longest (sorry!) was always harder, so it softened it a bit. i gradually weaned myself off it a bit and it worked!

no wasnt given anything in the hospital.
have got some lactulose on the shelf though as connor had it prescribed to him as he keeps having problems going.

I'm wondering if I may have this problem it bleeds a bit when I poo and it really hurts.

 

[alice&bump]

i'd deffo give the lactulose a go, i'd give the doc a bell and see if you can get some more if you're running low xx

 

[Dani_b]

i wouldnt know if there was any blood coming from there as i am still bleeding from the birth.
will ake some of connors lactulose. hope it desnt afect katie. need to see the doc anyway as connor is still getting bungged up

I just started eating the new Fiber Plus bars and they are awesome. 35% of the required amount of fiber and they are yummy. I've been having problems going for several years now and this is the best product I've come across for it.
