poop question

nicoleh55

I had a c section on may 2 and i'm still having a hard time pooping. its not that I can't if I try, its that I just don't have to for a few days. Then when I go its a lot! I've tried fiber vitamins, stool softener and eating more fiber filled foods but nothing is working. Had anyone else had this problem? What worked?

Lol, mine hasn't been the same and I gave birth vaginally almost eight weeks ago. All I can say is perhaps when our hormones level out it might get better, mine is starting to... but just starting. I go every other day, when at first it was every five days..

Yeah...all I can say is that it takes time.  It will regulate again eventually.  Be patient with your body - it's been through a lot!

Try rocking. It helped me more than anything else, including stool softeners after I had an appendectomy last spring. My mom even jokes that the reason for rocking babies is to keep things moving for momma, soothing baby is just a side benefit.
