2 weeks post csection.... gas and poop pain

C Section mamas... how long does this horrid gas cramping and painful bowel movements last? It hurts to push a turd out and my gas comes and goes like contractions with a sharp pain and the ability to push the toot out once the pain dissipates. It’s absolutely horrible. It literally has me buckled over from time to time. I’m taking a stool softener and also gas relief and it’s still horrible. I just want my bowels to be normal again. I used to look forward to daily dumps, now I dread them.

And don’t get me started on the bloat...!!
