Pain when I have a BM 6 weeks after baby?
I had my son 6 weeks ago and it still hurts when I have a bowel movement. And when I say it hurts, I mean it HURTS. I dread having to go and put it off which probably is making it worse. But it just hurts so bad. I do not have any external hemroids, maybe I have some on the inside that is making it hurt so bad? Any ideas?
My doctor prescribed me some stool softeners. You could go get some and those should help.

Oh i have been there twice its awful
you can get some stool softeners but i used some Glycerin Suppositories for about 1 week i was in so much pain, I felt like i was going to tear into two i cried and cried
It will get easier
I also think it is a mind thing with my first i had stitches as i had a cut but my second was worse i tore & didn't have any stitches i was so worried but im still here lol
Good luck

I had this too postpartum. You will notice pain for a few more weeks. Your insides have gone through a lot being cramped up for months with the baby inside. Sometimes when you press down there, it hurts. I managed by keeping well hydrated and eating fiber cereal. I had a BM everyday, but with little effort. The pain was pretty weird, but you'll get through it. You can also try some water-based lubricant to moisten that area for relief and a sleep with a cold compress.
