First pp 💩

I feel youuuu, I was absolutely terrified as well but honestly it’s not as bad as you think! I was taking laxido every day to try and soften it as much as I could and I think that made it a bit easier/better! To me it felt like the same sort of pushing sensation when I was giving birth just obviously not as intense, kinda strange haha

Get some laxatives!!!! They will be your bestfriend

I feel your pain I nearly shite myself I just about made it to the toilet about 6 days pp after taking laxido x

Also had an episiotomy but honestly first poo was fine! I used my hypnobirthing breathing haha to help keep relaxed. Drink lots of water, fresh fruit and veg to prevent getting constipated and it should be fine!

Hold a flannel and apply gentle pressure as you go
