Anyone fart a little bit more after having a episotomy?? My episotomy went fine and healed great but I have noticed a increase in farting since, will it go away after awhile or am I a woopi cusion for long term. If so its not the worst thing that could happen

I didn't have an episiotomy but I have the same problem you do. It was really bad for awhile! I think it's just because all those muscles get stretched out and weakened and then you can't hold them in anymore! But I have been trying to do kegel exercises and I'm hoping it helps. I'm not as bad as I used to be so I think it's working. I am almost 7 week pp.

I didn't have an episiotomy, but I did notice a windier bottom. It must be a muscle thing because as months went by (and I did my exercises) it got better. I also think s_x really improved the situation for me. The first few times were rough (way worse than 40 weeks pregnant s_x), but when I upped the s_x frequency the gas went down. Of course, it might be our bodies just getting back in the flow of things after being all cramped up inside too.

Yes, unfortunately constipation is pretty normal. Just try to increase your fibre intake...Metamusil is your best bet. And drink lots of water. GL

LOL!! I love it.... I am not the only one!! Everytime I laugh or cough, it seems like one escapes!! I think the muscles are just so stretched out. Plus, I had a 3rd degree tear... so that didn't help! I have tried kegels, but I dont' know if that will help my b___t, too, or not?? :)
