What No One Told Me About Post Delivery (TMI ??)

in 3rd Trimester

Was that I would want a stool softner.

Just wanted to share this tidbit while I was thinking about it.

I was absolutely miserable for the first day after delivery and my aunt (a RN) told me to ask for one which made life a whole lot better.

I also bought some on the way home from the hospital and have only stopped using them within the past few days.

Just wanted to share this...

    Thankfully for this board I've seen that recommended a million times. I've already got some in my hospital bag!

    I was on the tri boards but mainly at night (if that makes a difference)

    I'm glad so many ppl already know this but after going 2 days without I dont think that it can be stressed enough

    Yes, luckily a friend at work clued me in to this one a month or two ago.  I also bought peach nectar juice, which is supposed to get things moving.  (Because it's so concentrated.)  You could probably also try prune juice, prunes, or just eating a ton of fresh fruit.

    All I'm missing is numbing spray.  Does it have a name?  Stick out tongue

    Dermaplast or something like that at least.  It is a wonderful thing.  My hospital gave me a can.

    I am on the tri boards quite a bit and have even read many hospital bag lists and never saw this.. glad I read the post. I am only on sporadically at night or during the day and don't get to catch up on all the pages - so thanks for posting.
