I have read a few posts of other moms who are having a c-section saying they are taking a stool softener and prune juice with them to take after the c-section. What kind of stool softener do you recommend? And is there any other juice that will do the same job as prune juice because It's nassty to me! Also, how much prune juice are you taking with you to the hospital?
They generally give you stool softners at the hospital but buying a little prune juice for when you get home wouldn't be such a bad thing either. I did stool softners and exlax.

I am not sure if i will make it to my Csection date or get a VBAC before then. I am already taking Colace every day. I remember from my last CS that taking it just a day or two in advance was not really enough to help...unless you use something really strong.
