Constipation causing c section wound spotting
I’m on laxatives from the hospital but really struggling to go to the toilet. I’m 13 days post c section and it’s making my wound spot. My body is straining automatically though I’m trying to stop it. Anyone else? Or any advice on how to naturally make myself go?

@Dee where can I get this from? Xx
Sorry only just saw this Hope you’re all ok You can get from ur local chemist usually :)
@Dee hey, yeah I’m good. I’m managing to go naturally. Thank god. But still it’s oozing yellow, but midwife checked it a week ago and didn’t seem concerned at all… so I’m assuming it’s normal then xxx

It sounds like your stools may not be soft enough to pass without the increased straining despite the oral laxatives. Would you consider a suppository to really loosen things up so there is little to no need to push for a while?
