Answer

I take 1000mg of magnesium- works like a charm.

Answer

Are you still on painkillers? That's what was causing my issues,  as soon as I stopped taking them I was back to sorta normal.

Answer

Go to Walmart and get magnesium oxide tablets. Start with two tabs or 800 mg a day till you go (it only took about 6 hours for me) and then you can drop to one tab to maintain. I started taking them during pregnancy to help with headaches and discovered they work wonders for constipation as well. Plus they can also help you relax and sleep at night if you're stressed out. And they're 100% safe during pregnancy and bf'ing.

Answer

Again, Epsom salt bath helps with that and I take stool softeners.

Answer

I'm one month postpartum and I'm still not regular. I'm not really scared to go anymore, it's not that bad, but still going only every few days. Still kinda hard stools. Was rock hard and painful 2 days a ago, took a stool softener, yesterday I had bad diarrhea. Can't win.

Answer

Miralax is very gentle and can help if colace isn't working!
