Hi i gave Birth 5 days ago and have been abit constipated i havent been to the toilet for three days,last night i felt the need to go only a small amount of stool was passed and there was this yellow mucus looking stuff on it which had me quite worried, i have been to the toilet again this morning and it was alot better with hardly any mucus there at all, i also havent been eating much due to having a newborn and toddler to lookafter and not really fancy eating, dobyou think the mucus is anything to be worried abiut or is it just because i was abit constipated? Thanks.

    I often have mucus if I'm blocked up. I find eating raisins on my cereal helps. If it continues you maybe low on good bacteria. Try Symprove to increase your bacteria.

    I think you just need to start eating better and make sure you have fibre in your diet so you do not get too constipated. Are you eating vegatables and fruit as well. Give youself a chance to get back to normal. After all you are just a new mother. I don't think you have anything to worry about, but constipation at this point. Let me know how you do once you start eating properly and get that fibre in your diet that you need for better bowel movments.

                                                         Blessings to you
