  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.

  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.
