Babies: 0 - 3 Months

when did your bowels return to "normal"?

anyone else experience constipation off and on for a while after giving birth?  (I had a C-Section if that makes a difference).


Re: when did your bowels return to "normal"?

  • About a month after my section. Are you taking Colace or anything? It helped me tremendously!

  • yeah, I've taken milk of magnesia but it always seems to start working when I'm nursing!  not the greatest timing.
  • Hell yes! I even took stool softeners and it still didnt work. I am still not "regular" I use to go every day now it is 3 or 4 days. And yes it still hurts when going...sorry TMI

  • I?m over 3 weeks with my c-section and still battle with this daily. Every time I go to the bathroom, which is every week it seems I feel as if I?m giving birth again.
