The GP X-rayed the child - and the lost wedding ring was clearly visible.

Childbirth is daunting to say the least, but one woman's tale of her own struggles post-labour has left many asking worried questions.
Mum Allison Henry has described how, post-birth, her vagina 'fell out' - describing it as feeling like "someone had rammed a pitchfork up [her] butt".
Allison wrote on the MomLogic.com website, which no longer exists, that her problems came from nowhere towards the end of her second pregnancy.
Following 15 weeks of bleeding and constipation, she gave birth to a healthy boy, slightly prematurely - but then realised there was still something amiss.
She says she was using the loo when she noticed that "there wasn't really a hole there - it felt kind of flat", like something was blocking her vaginal canal.

Irritable bowel syndrome

Could be the cause if: You’ve been bloated on and off for a long time and have also experienced symptoms including pain, constipation and/or bouts of diarrhoea.
A common bowel condition, IBS is a functional disorder, which means there’s nothing wrong with the structure of the bowel itself, but the way the gut works is abnormal.

The likelihood is that during your lifetime, someone will have said something that has stuck with you ever since.
Whether it was a compliment, insult or a flippant comment that wasn't intended to cause pain, words can have a lasting and often damaging effect on our minds - and that often begins in childhood.
Those hurtful words can come from the people you trust the most and, in the cases of the adults below, from your own parents .
