Greetings,
I had my C-Section on Thursday. I took the suppository and I am on Colace due to taking percocet. I am drinking water due to swelling and the percs. I have had one BM which wasn't much and I had one today which was better but I expected more for someone who hasn't gone very much in days. My intestines feel like I have food poisoning. I don't want to call the docs if this is all normal.
Thoughts/Suggestions?
Re: Will I poop regularly ever again?
It took me a little over a week to poop at all. It will get back to normal.
However, if you are uncomfortable/in pain, I'd call my doc. I was never in any pain and not even that uncomfortable before I went.

you know I should try and take the gas x at home. I completely forgot about that. The fact that I did get to go was a relief. So the colace is working.
Thanks all!
hmmm can you take a laxative? I know they are harsh but I have used them to regulate my bowels after surgery before...
No advice here- just wanted to let you know you aren't alone! I had a C-section on Friday and have pooped a couple of times but it was super uncomfortable and I had to sit on the toilet forever. I can only imagine how long it will be before I'm regular again!
Prunes. Seriously. After my c/s, pooping hurt and tore me up bad. Prunes helped immensely. I have nothing against drugs, but if you can get the same result without taking a conglomeration of chemicals, I usually do that.
Call them dried plums if you don't want to feel old.
I made rachelmichelle1 my bitch.
