Take probiotics and/or stool softeners. It gets better
Omg it wasn’t until this week at 3w PP that it felt like I was pooping glass. I got the smooth move tea and started taking my stool softeners again cuz I felt like my booty hole was bleeding more than my freaking V was at this point 😭
Omg I thought it was only me 😭
@Quala I have some witch hazel wipes I should definitely start using them !!
@Chelsea Yess taking my stool softeners for sure! I'm probably not drinking enough water though 😭
@Allie Omg that's how it was for me with my first! This time I'm only 1 week PP but I'm gonna keep taking my stool softeners cause OUCH
@Rachel Nope you're not alone girl 😭
Could be hemorrhoids! I know it's gross, but I got a really bad one at 1 week postpartum and it was rough!! Felt like glass was coming out
@Kaylynn Ughh that's the worst. It definitely might be that
Totally relate!!! And also my clit hurts so much too from like pressure sitting on toilet. I did get two lacerations in that area .
@Kay-Lee omg the clit pressure sucks!! I was reading on Reddit and it went away for most people after the 6 weeks but I really hope it’s not longer than that cuz it’s painful at times!
In addition to what people above said, look into a sitz bath! It’s like a little herb bath for your butt that relieves hemorrhoid pain. This gave me a ton of relief in about 24 hrs along with taking Senna and Miralax plus using witch hazel wipes. Hope you get some relief soon!
@Allie omg we are a community going through the same things. God bless us all.
Omg this pain was so hard for me to describe to my husband lol. Miralax, witch hazel wipes in your pad, ibuprofen and lots of water!
Yes! My Dr prescribed me witch hazel wipes and some other form of medicine for hemorrhoids.
