Episiotomy

Charlotte • Baby boy due 13th October 👶🏼💙

Maybe a bit TMI.. but anyone who’s had a episiotomy how did you help with the first poo? I’ve managed half this morning but had to stop due to extreme pain couldn’t stop crying... it’s been 5 days since I gave birth, very traumatically loosing a lot of blood and being cut a fair bit.. just need some tips on how to help soften the blow abit ? The fear is making me never want to poo again :(
