How long did it take you to poop after delivery?

Krista • Pregnant with my 1st due May 2016!
So my little boy was born Tuesday may 17 by an unexpected csection and I'm now home recovering. Question is I still haven't pooped since before delivery. I know it's normal to be constipated afterwards and with the effects from the pain meds but it's almost been a whole week. I've never had this issue and I'm taking a stool softener to help. How long did it take you ladies to go and did you do anything to help?
