1 week old ! And I’m in pain

Denise

Abdominal pain, I read it’s normal with the uterus trying to get back to normal and all but ouch! Than I thought maybe it’s gas? Backed up? I did poop the day of delivery but it took almost 4 days,stool softener and 1 five mg laxative. Ughhh, pain pain go away! Is this normal? My youngest before him is 8,and I don’t remember.....
