First poop after birth

Stool softener 

It's not as bad as you think it's going to be. Try to relax bc with my first I had a tear and hemorrhoids so I was terrified to go but honestly it took me like 6 days but then once I went I was fine.

Glycerin suppository. If it's "right there" it's too late for a stool softener for that BM. But a suppository will soften at least the beginning stool and help you to relax and ease it out. It's really best to make sure your first BM goes as well as it can so you don't have too much pain and then fear going to the bathroom the next time(s) which only makes constipation and healing worse.

Miralax and stool softners!

Stool softener

Just went through this a couple of hours ago. Was very regular throughout my.pregnancy. I pooped last Saturday, went into labor the next day. I had to have a c section. Due to many complications afterwards the last thing on anyones mind was me pooping. Last few days started to get urge to poop. I've been taking stool softeners since I've been in the hospital. Tonight I finally felt I had to poop. Was in the bathroom for 30+min it was literally right there and was stuck. I was in extreme pain and the nurse ended up putting a suppisitory. TMI but when I finally went it was like I gave birth. Don't be scared to poop, drink LOTS of water and walk and take stool softeners. Also dont just sit and keep forcing it because it won't do any good.

I was prescribed stool softener I was still nervous after taking them but just relaxing & letting things happen on its on everything worked out great 😁

Cucumbers!! They will help also. Good luck mama!

lots of water, stool softeners and I also took Metamucil

Take stool softeners & drink lots of water. That helped me. Also when I was in the hospital they gave me 2 stool softeners, I forgot the name of them but they were brown & worked faster than the ones my prenatal Dr gave me.
