Beginning a colace prep....

RnMom2Be · May 2012

I am having a RCS in one week. Last time I took 100 mg of colase daily for a week prior to my section. It was the best decision ever!!! I pooped the day after my surgery with no pain or issues at all. Just an FYI for you other ladies out there.

I really wish I had have know this. I didn't poop for 10 days!!!!!! It was aweful aweful aweful. I ended up with an enima and major stool softeners. I was on a double dose of iron (instead of a blood transfusion) and percocet. Hello rock poop!

My OB told me to do this last time too and I will this time.

You're smart. I wish someone would've beat that info into me prior to mine. It took me seven days and when I finally did go, it was way worse than the surgery itself.

I am gathering all the info possible, as I am having my first LO in August and we are having a planned CS. This is GREAT advice! That was one thing that really got me anxious after having the baby and having a major surgery in my abdomen. Thanks for sharing!
