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.

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

My doctor prescribed me some stool softeners. You could go get some and those should help.
