Postpartum poops

I'm a first time mom. I'm 3 weeks postpartum from a c section. My poops and farts aren't the same. When I fart it's like it stops at the opening and I have to really force them out or sit on the toilet to pass gas. It's not easy anymore. And it still hurts when I poop. Like my anus hurts and I literally grunt when pooping.

I know this is tmi, but is this normal? Lol I don't like it at all.
