TMI - I gotta go poo

So since LO's been here (just over 8 weeks) I've been doing great. I had an episiotomy, but it's never bothered me because everything was fine. All of a sudden, my innards have stopped and that area is super sore, even though it's healed. I'm straining and pretty sure I'm going to have to get out the prep-h again.

Every day I eat a fiber one bar, have a huge cup of coffee, slightly less water than when I was pregnant, and I've been taking 2 colace at night. I've been doing great with eating well and usually have salad for lunch. I'm trying everything i can think of that would help me go #2, but rabbit turds are all I can get out. I'm super gassy too... feeling like I should be on gentlease with LO!

WHAT'S THE DEAL?? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    That's sucks! Just want to say sorry because I know that it painful, I had the same problem right after delivery for about 3 weeks. Felt like i was in labor all ober again, Horror. I'm 6 weeks pp and have been taking probiotics which I think really helps in that department...

    Sorry about your problem. I had a hemmorhoidectomy (yeah, i probably spelled that wrong) a week after my c/s. Stool softeners, exlax and lots of water are your friends!

    Miralax!! Works like a charm and is very natural. Doesn't give you the cramps and diarrhea like typical laxatives since its bulk forming, not a stimulant. I have been struggling all through my pregnancy and c section recovery.

    prune juice and suppositories.  I know it isn't pleasant but it works.  It was the only thing that saved me when all else failed after my delivery.
