Firsr BM after giving birth..

I gave birth to my son on 8-16 and I just had my first bowel movement today since giving birth. Is it normal for it to hurt? I seriously felt like my stitches were going to tear open. I've been taking stool softeners every day twice a day like they recommended but it still hurt.
