Post C Sec 💩
I'm in such pain, midwife is coming today anyway but honestly the wound, the preeclampsia, the sleep deprivation and sore nipples are nothing compared to the pain in my butt!
Haven't pooped since early labour really (managed a 🪨 this morning after an hour sat on the loo). Had some mild laxative I've been prescribed for IBS anyway but it's just made me farty.
Does anyone have any tips? I'm trying to balance easy movement to help whilst raising legs for the preeclampsia swelling to go down and I've been eating well (husband has designed a boob and bum friendly menu 🤣)
Struggling to sit or lie in a position that is comfortable 😭

With both my sections, it took me a couple of days to poo. I had stool softener from the day of my section and just kept taking it and eventually was able to poo around day 3-4. It was then fairly irregular, only going every couple of days but I found the pain really uncomfortable!
Thank you so much guys, makes me feel so much better to know my butt isn't forever damaged. Section was on Sunday. I've got some Lactulose that hubby got from pharmacy today so 🤞🏼 that gets things soft enough to move. The pain is excruciating! I wish they'd told me to take stool softener as well as the painkillers post C section x

How many days in are you? The first few days are really rough but it gets better so quickly after that. Try some buscopan because the gas pain makes everything ten times worse. Your bowel is probably on strike from being moved, the buscopan helps get it moving again x
