Grant is here!

Sweetest116 · February 2012

Sorry I've been mia ... Grant was born on Feb 10th! 8lbs 7oz and 21in. Labor was hell... 42+ hours and 5 hours of pushing. We used the vacuum once and he finally came out. Unfortunately my epi only numbed my right side so I felt every glorious moment on my left. We are home now after extensive testing of my placenta due to both of us spiking fevers. All came out ok! I have been having a rough recovery due to damage during the birth. Urine incontinence and now I'm unable to poop even though it's packed in my rectum. So.... I'm miserable! Good luck to all of the mommas with inside babies! You'll do great! Outside baby mommas.... help me poop! I'm doing fiber, colace, water... it's packed solid in there!!

congratulations post a picture when you can!

as for pooping..I didn't have any trouble getting things going but I am taking colace as well due to the wonderful hemis that arrived from pushing. I suggest eating a lot of fresh fruit and drinking some apple juice to help get things going! good luck, I hope you go soon and get some relief.

I drank pear juice when I was severely constipated and that seemed to do the trick (in the baby aisle...Gerber brand juice.)

Congrats on Baby Grant! As for the pooping or lack of, try prunes or prune juice

Congratulations! So glad everything is under control and everyone is healthy!

After my first, drinking the Gerber baby juice (like pp said) helped move things along. 100% juice, stool softeners, fruit and veggies, and water. Best of luck to you!
