Found this forum yesterday and so glad to read some of the information. I'm Georgia, 37 years old from NZ.
I'm now 11 weeks post partum and suffering. I developed hideous external hemorrhoids at about 6 months pregnant that had me bed bound. I now have major skin tag issues and apparently and AF. I saw a specialist two weeks ago who said things will resolve but it will take time.
My tags are painful. They get so irritated so easily. I'm pretty sure that I have a prolapsed internal hem that comes out from time to time although I also now understand that this could be swelling of the tags. It happens tho when straining (ie holding my baby) which makes me think its a hem.
The specialist said there are no hems, everything looks ok bar the tags. He thought I may have had an AF based on some pain I had the week previously but he couldn't see it.
I've changed my diet, I'm not constipated at all, I go every night. I've adopted a nearly gluten and dairy free plus no chocolate or coffee diet.
Everything just hurts, all the time. I hate going out, the idea for example of going somewhere that has hard chairs, I just can't do it. I can't hold my baby standing up for very long. Driving is also hard. Its doing my head in.
How long do I give myself to come right?!
