Who else is dreading the postpartum poo 😩😭😂

Question

With my first baby although I didn't tear down below or anything... the days after birth were awful! Trying to poo was impossible and I was very sore. I had a back to back pregnancy and labour so my birth hurt my ass more then anything 😂. Any tips with my second baby? Have 18 weeks left till I have my baby and I want to be prepared more!

Answer

take the stool softeners 😳 if you love yourself you’d take them. i made the mistake of being like “oh i don’t need those”.. that postpartum poop hurt worse than child labor

Answer

Stool softeners. Take those things for as long as possible lol. Even if you feel good... Keep taking them. I made the mistake of stopping too soon...and I felt like I was shitting out glass. I'm not even kidding. Stoop softeners are the best thing after birth next to dermaplast

Answer

Everyone had me do scared about this, but it wasn't that bad. With my first I didn't even have stool softeners, my husband was literally getting ready to go get them at the store and I was like "oh, no, this is happening." I don't even remember it the second time.
I was supplementing with magnesium citrate both times, so maybe that helped.

Answer

Stool softeners. Colace would be good, the 2-1 I think is best
