    Hi Andrea, if it was me I would want to ring the ward about this feeling or go to the doctors.  Constipation is the last thing you want as it could bring a prolapse on, in my opinion.  Hope you get things sorted.

    Poor you, did they give you any laxative on leaving hospital? The constipation and sleepy bowel is quite common - apparantly. Obviously, you had a worse time of it than I did but  I drank orange juice with bits in (it has to be the one with bits), plus had lactalose and even had to use suppository.  To make a gentle action. Hope it gets sorted for you xx
