Need some advice...my poor little man is so uncomfortable and in so much pain whenever he is trying to push to do a poo. He spends alot of the day pushing and going bright red with the effort and will only get a dirty nappy 2 or 3 times a week so obviously he's uncomfortable. Is the constant straining and finding it difficult to poo normal? Read online from someone else that it's normal cause their little bodies are still getting used to everything and he was at hospital the other day (for another reason) and they weren't concerned when I told them about this problem but I'm just really worried as it's very obvious he's in alot of pain/discomfort...so really just want to know, was anyone else's baby like this and does anyone have anymore info or advice?
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.

Caellum Shain, born June 2nd at 2:23 PM at 37+4. He's perfect, 6 lb 15 oz and 20 inches. He's been such a good baby, lots of sleeping and he has latched on quite a few times and sucked but he doesn't stay on long lol. Hoping he picks it up soon. It was a long labor, about 24 hours. He was born with the assistance of a vacuum because he did not want to come on his own, he had his head turned a way that no matter how much I pushed he would not get free. One push push with the vacuum and he was alm...
My bump some times feels really tight hard and uncomfortable and then soft and normal? Anyone know what it could be? At the moment it feels really tight and uncomfortable it's solid to touch 😬😅
Is sex painful for anyone else ? Or uncomfortable?
Is it normal for babies to only poo every few days? The doctor said it can be but I'm just worried for my little one in case he's in pain 😢
Morgan was like this as a newborn & I mentioned it to doctors & midwives/ health visitors which were not concerned. I disagreed because Morgan had gone a week without a poo & I said I'm sorry but if we went that long we'd be uncomfortable. If he's going a few times a week you could try sips of water in between feeds. Moving his legs around like he's riding a bike & rubbing his tummy. If he gets really bad take him to get checked by your GP. I did in the end & they gave Morgan some laxatives to help. He was fine after a week or 2 on that.
