How long after a c section did it take for you to poop?!

Question

I apologize for being so forward. 😂 I had my little girl on the first and today was the first time I actually went! I was getting so nervous. I read online that it was most likely the pain medicine causing the delay so yesterday I stopped taking my percocet and began only taking my ibuprofen when needed. I find it crazy that my body went that long without going. 😧

Answer

Two days. I never took pain meds though. Two stool softeners later, and I poo'd. Haha

Answer

Had my CS on the 8th! Baby was born at 8.25am! Didn't poop for the first 24hrs. However, on the evening of the 9th, I went to pee and watery poop just came out! It was as if I couldn't control my bowels! But it didn't hurt or anything like that!
