Why oh why??

Question

Sorry if TMI but does anyone else get awful poop cramps every single time they have to poop? It's so bad sometimes I almost can't even get to the bathroom without holding myself up with walls and countertops

Answer

Yes! Sometimes I'll be in such pain and my boyfriend thinks I'm having contractions cause I'm so far along. And the first couple times I didn't know what to do. But when I went to the bathroom and came out, I felt much better. So I guess it's cramps from needing to poop.

Answer

Me too. I get the same way when I used to have my period. I'll get cramps and then after I use the bathroom I'm okay again. It's weird...

Answer

I do occasionally.. I think it's called anal tenesmus. It's like a cramping of the sphincter. I find it doesn't happen asich when I take magnesium - as that relaxes muscles in the body :)
