Increase in bleeding (maybe TMI)

[Voltige]

:

I've been feeling GREAT for about a week now (I am 2 weeks pp). DH went back to work this morning and I had my first bad poop (not my first poop, just my first bad one, LOL!) - made me bleed and got the 'rhoids acting up again Things have been going SO well down there until today. Now I feel raw and sore all over again, plus my bleeding has picked up. Why? Because I had a hard poop and had to push a little? I've used the sitz bath twice today and it's helped a bit, but I can't really get off my feet to lie down until DH gets home. Grrrr.

DDC crashing. My guess as to why the bleeding has picked up has more to do with your DH going back to work and you are probably up more than you have been. I have four so I know it is hard to try and have time where you can rest and put your feet up, but try to let a few things go so that you get the rest you need to continue healing. DH can pick up the slack when he gets home and finish what hasn't gotten done. Also, enlist the older children to help pick up or do some tasks.
