Let's just call it what it is...T.M.I.

So this might be for second time moms but what do I know... it could be for first time moms too! I am a second time mom and don't remember this happening the first time around.

So I have had some bad poops lately that have been hard. After I have them, the next time I go to the bathroom or anytime after that really it feels like my lady parts are pushing against my vagina. What I mean by that is that when i wipe after peeing I can tell that my vagina is...how do I say... being pushed on from the inside. Not knowing what it was, I felt it (like I said...TMI) and it for sure feels like things have moved closer to the opening since I have pooped.

I have a dr. appt today but before I go I just wanted to see if any moms have noticed this happening. I think it goes away after awhile but my fear is that something is going to get pushed out if i push to hard while pooping. I know it sounds weird but it has happend now more than once to me and I just wanted to see if other people were having this problem.

Can't say this has happened to me, but if you have to strain that hard you might want to try some Colace or something else to help.

Fiber gummies from target have been my life saver. I haven't experienced this but i do feel like my lady parts are swollen to hell and back. Get some fiber gummies b/c they help move things along and so far have kept things softer.

I've experienced swelling of my lady parts, but I'm not sure that's what you're describing. Definitely take some colace to help from straining. GL!

I think I understand what you're talking about.  2years ago, GYN/OB, lanced a cyst in my vaginal area and I haven't had a problem since.  But I've noticed the closer I get to the end (especially when I'm feeling a lot of lower pressure), I can feel the same type of swelling as the cyst.  IDK, if it really is the cyst returning or just the pressure of baby pushing everything down.

Well I know I have a "fibroid" on my right side that they have been watching but I didn't even think about that. Has anyone ever heard of, and this may sound silly but I think I remember hearing this, that your lady parts can fall out/come out in some cases? I know my coworker had problems with her delivery and they had to reach inside and take things out to check and make sure they got all of the placenta out. So I know they can take things in/out but what about falling out?

Did I mention that I worry a lot?

I, err, know exactly what you mean. Embarrassed

Talk to your doc about it for sure.

I'm a STM and from my experience it is from straining too hard/constipation. Take some colace (ask doc first) and drink loads and loads of water and eat a lot of raw veggies and fruit. This is also a good idea once you've had the baby. Need to keep things moving and loose!

Also, try and stay active. Helps with more regular BMs.

I got so constipated early in 2nd tri that I couldn't urinate!! I also experienced that same pressure and it freaked me out!! At least things are still moving for you. Miralax is wonderful if you aren't really backed up, if you are try a glycerin suppository.

 Good luck!!

I had this happening and took the colace, it has helped tremendously! It just makes everything more comfortable and then you don't get the "pushed out" feeling.
