I'm now on my 5th day post partum, and I'm starting to dread the idea of that first poop. The doctor said she was prescribing me a stool softener, but the pharmacy never received an order for it. So I didn't really worry about it too much.

To elaborate, when I was in pre-labor I essentially pooped everything I had eaten in the last several weeks to be honest. So I was thinking maybe it had been so long because I was essentially empty, but idk.

What kind of laxative/stool softener did you ladies use?

I drank a small glass of prune juice this morning, that ended up helping move a bunch of gas, but no actual stool yet.

Thanks ladies!
