When can I poop normally again?

Rachael

I delivered vaginally on Friday (5 days ago) and ended up with 2nd degree tears+stitches. So far I've had one smallish bowel movement with the help of a stool softener and I planned on taking another today. Just wondering when I can stop being so scared and also when I can stop taking softeners😅
