Post birth question

I was terrified of this, gave birth Sunday early hours and I believe I finally did what I needed to do on the Thursday. Midwives sent me home with Lactolose to get things going

I would recommend getting lactulose too if you haven’t got any already. My midwife gave me some and I took it every day for a week or so after to help with bowel movements x

I think I went on day 3 or so. It really helped me to have something to rest my feet on, but don’t strain as it’s quite painful! Definitely get stool softeners if you can x

Please please take lactulose if you can!! Helped me so much

It was day 4 for me, stool softeners did help and also pressure a pillow against your tummy when doing it

Buscopan worked for me

I was in the hospital 3/24-3/26 due to Postpartum hemorrhage and I believe I finally passed a bowel movement early that morning at 3:00am . They gave me stool softeners twice .

The only way that helped me was to put my legs on a stool!

I think I went on day 5 if not day 6.. it took a while, but midwifes weren’t worried as I have been passing gas, so it was just a matter of time. I was taking Laxido twice a day.

I was about day 6 with my son this time i think i was day 3 i was taking lactuluse tho
