Bowel issues post partum (tmi warning)
Hey everyone! I had my baby girl by emergency c section 8 weeks ago, I had low iron during pregnancy and after she was born so I was on iron tablets. I noticed straight after she was born it was very sore to have a bowel movement. I noticed after each time I went I had blood coming from there so I said to the midwife on one of her home visits but she just said it would be due to the iron tablets making my stool larger. It has came and gone since my section but tonight I randomly started getting very strong cramping pain in my lower left abdomen it’s really uncomfortable and sometimes I feel pain in my back too directly where the abdominal pain is (but in my back). I’m no longer on the iron tablets and haven’t been for a few weeks now. Have any of you had any issues with bowels after a c section or maybe know of some advice I am going to call doctor in the morning as I don’t think it would be classed as an emergency tonight and just looking for some advice. TIA ☺️
