I have 5 stitches from giving birth 4 days ago. I can’t drive per midwives orders & my husband keeps forgetting to pick up the stool softeners I’ve been requesting. I’ve been eating oatmeal for breakfasts (for fiber & to increase my milk supply coming in) & of course drinking lots of water but I’m so scared of my first poop. Husband is at work 2 hours away, I don’t have anyone here to bring me anything. I feel it coming on today & I’m stressed lol

Please tell me it won’t be as bad as I think! Lol

UPDATE: I waited as long as I could (hoped my body would make it go quickly) & it wasn’t too bad. Like a 3/4 out of 10 on the pain scale. & to those who keep just saying to get stool softeners or that it wasn’t bad for them because they had stool softeners, that wasn’t really the help or feedback I was looking for. If I had my way I would have had them, my post was that I don’t have them, won’t be having them when this goes down, & I needed hope for a positive outcome. Lol but thanks for the input
