I had the same (no twins here though!) 3rd degree episiotomy...no meds...ugh.<br /> I've gotta get better about the stool softener! I hate myself every time I don't take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320750 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:55:41 +0000 Shimmer 320750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: Do you have a boppy? I sat on that for the first few weeks and it helped tremendously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320745 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:53:07 +0000 matador84 320745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswagon i think all my stitches have dissolved/fallen out and it appears that my incision has healed. Dang...I feel the same, no itching and nothing visible...ugh! DH and I ran errands last week when the same thing happened and my bottom hurt so bad from sitting in the car we had to go home! And I just packed my snoogle a couple weeks ago and don't feel like getting it out to go sit on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320744 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:51:10 +0000 Shimmer 320744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: I had a 3rd degree episiotomy and pooping really did suck (and still does sometimes)! Get those stool softeners, stay hydrated, and take your time in the bathroom! </p> <p>P.S. I said poop to my midwives. They didn't care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320738 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:46:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 320738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: I'd think it was hemorrhoids since it's when you poop... if your stitches were opening up and your wound was still so bad that you were bleeding bright red blood I think you'd be in big trouble :( but that sounds exactly like what I was like when I had the internal hemorrhoids. No itching really and no visible hemorrhoid popping out, but pain while pooping and after, and bright red blood in the toilet. I'm no doctor! But it sounds similar! Sucks so bad :( that pain and discomfort is no joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320731 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:43:32 +0000 matador84 320731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hurts like a mother! @mrswagon I think it's because I had such a bad tear and an episiotomy...but I wondered if it was hemorrhoids...I don't even know what they would look/feel like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320657 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:07:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 320657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say bowel movement. And it sounds like internal hemmhroids... I had those :( if you take benefiber and miralax they should heal up pretty quickly. Stool softeners (colace) never worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320555 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:11:33 +0000 Goldilocks1107 320555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use the term poo. Not sure why, but I also never felt bad talking about poo with my doctor, LO's doctor or daycare (it's amazing how comfortable you become with poo conversations!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320544 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:01:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 320544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say poop because my OB is really laidback lol.</p> <p>but it depends on your OB :)</p> <p>on a side note..i feel your pain, sista. my stool softeners are not softening a damn thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320521 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:42:49 +0000 SAHM0811 320521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were you I would say it hurts when I poop and I see bright red blood when I go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320511 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:38:36 +0000 Alivoo01 320511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I would have totally said poop. It's the first word that comes to mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320495 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:28:39 +0000 mediagirl 320495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said poop to mine and then was embarrassed about it. I would have said bowel movement if I actually took some time to think about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320493 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:26:55 +0000 autumnlove 320493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably say BMs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-drtmi#post-320491 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:25:55 +0000 matador84 320491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4 weeks old and my postpartum appt is in a couple weeks. I tore really bad during delivery, but in healing...whenever I go poop I still bleed bright red blood! It's my own fault for not taking stool softeners, but always end up hurting like hell the whole day. So, what do you say to your dr when telling them? It still hurts when I take a s%#*? Poop? Bm? I pretty much want to go with the first one!! </p>
