Anyone else still having troubles...going?

Question

I'm almost 4 weeks ppd and BMs still really hurt! I had a 3rd degree tear so I'm sure that's a big reason.

I don't know what else to try. I'm maxed out on docusate and miralax. I don't think I can  drink anymore water. I'm drinking like 16 ounces every couple of hours! I'm eating oatmeal with flaxseed. I don't have a problem going, I go every day. It just hurts like crazy! Is there anything else I can take/eat/drink that can soften things up???

Answer

If I eat a bunch of dried fruit (think delicious apricots!) I have uncontrollable gas and #2's. Gross, I know. But maybe it would help?

Answer

I left the hospital with a prescription for colace. Have you tried that? I'm still battling hemherroids myself even though I wasn't able to deliver vaginally.

Answer

Have you tried prune juice? It's been 5 days for me. I tried prune juice this morning. I've gone twice today!

Answer

probably already foing this but try taking a pillow in with you to push against.
