Eat lots of fiber before delivery

My son came early - due date was 12/12, he arrived 11/24. By far the hardest part has been the constipation and hemorrhoids AFTER delivery. I recommend eating a lot of fiber - veggies to clean yourselves out and then asking for veggies after delivery. Using the bathroom after delivery was more painful than delivery and I was in labor for 36 hrs!  Wish someone had warned me.
