HI, You are not alone, Like you even I had the same symptoms. If you feel it's not haemorrhoids then show a gyno rather than gastro. Let them check but I had the same for 3 months postpartum. No, you will not be facing all your life. You are in a critical stage. Even I was dealing with postpartum, but I didn't share it with anyone as I know that not all are going to understand me. But I was wrong, we shouldn't face this alone. Find someone who listens to you and help you. Get a 3rd consultation if you are not satisfied and get it checked

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure you must be feeling overwhelmed because of these changes. During and after pregnancy your body goes through drastic changes. It becomes really difficult to understand and adapt to these new changes. I know this must be giving you bizarre experiences, you must be stressed. I think you should talk about the lump with your doctor that you're stressed about it. You will not have to go through this all your life. It will be alright. 9 weeks are still very new. You are not able to heal from your gut issue because it gets triggered due to stress. I think along with medicines you should try to regulate your emotions and talk to your husband for a little support. You need support and enough sleep to deal with all of it. Also, you need to focus on your mental sanity which must be getting hampered because of this be a change in life. Try to give yourself some time and accept, that you're doing great. Do you think you can ask for help from your family?

Hi. Congratulations to you, new mom. As suggested above, you may consider consulting your gynaecologist with the issues you are currently facing (not just the lump). I am guessing they would be seeing similar cases and would know if you need to be directed to another specialist (and if so, which one).
