cramps before bowel movements?

[Mommy_of_2]

Is this normal with IBS? It's not severe pain, it's almost like I can feel my bowels moving with some cramping and then I'll relieve myself and feel better. Does anybody else feel this? I'm also 8 months postpartum so not sure if this has anything to do with it. Also had a clear colonoscopy.

It's very normal in some people to feel your bowl movement before going to the toilet, specially if you suffer from IBS so nothing to worry about dear.

Yep, that's me, you can feel the bowel moving things along then once you let go your bowel will gently get back to normal until the next time
