tmi...
but the first BM after a vaginal birth is a little scary. 😳
but one of the many ways you reclaim your body after such an experience as childbirth.

I tore during childbirth and the bm after didn't hurt, it just felt weird like you explained, like my body didn't know what to do! the pushing part felt foreign ha
@infamousmama_ it doesn't hurt. I didn't tear during labor though, so I'm not sure if pain would occur if I did. I was personally nervous & typically when someone has a BM it's a natural release, but for me at least it was like I haven't used those muscles before. that's the best way I can explain it. it didn't hurt though! so don't be scared. 🙃
@patti28 haha. I had my first BM after baby today. very... weird! it's like your lower half doesn't belong to you. 😳 but I'm sure it only gets easy after that.
@j_kam75 yes! you nailed it. 😊 that's good to know. after pushing a baby your body is like "I'm on vacation!".
