Bowel movement after c section

I had a planned c section yesterday, and everything went well. It's my second so we are home already, which is great. I passed urine fine, as well as wind. But I so need to go for a number 2, but I just can't. When I sit on the toilet, it's just nothing, I can't push due to the c section. I've tried to put a suppository in and nothing, but my stomach is in agony as I need to go. Does anyone have any tips? I'm desperate!

Laxatives. Or lots of fruit and veg x

I took lactoluse religiously after my c section x

Eat a tin of prunes and the juice, my family swears by it.

You can get fibogel from places like boots and the supermarkets. Worked wonders after my first

@Laura thanks hunni, let me see it I can get some laxatives. I made a green smoothie this morning with fruit and veg hoping that helps x

@Becca did it work for you? Maybe I need to speak to the GP about it x

@Tanya prunes is a good one, I'll get my husband to get some today.

@Ceri-Ann I'm up for trying everything lol

Take 45ml of lactulose…. That will get you going! (Within BNF Limits!)
