Ok ladies... I haven't pooped in 8 days. I went in for an induction on Tuesday of last week, it lasted two days, then I had a c-section and here I am.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get things moving?! I've been taking stool softeners since I was out of my c-section (Thursday) and have had Miralax twice. I'm drinking water, obviously, and even tried Taco Bell (now I fondly refer to this as Taco Hell because while I may feel the need to go to the bathroom after consuming it, I can't!!).
The Percocet certainly isn't helping unstop things, I'm sure, and while I'm lowering my dose, I can't quite cut it out yet without excruciating pain in my incision after awhile. This brings me to my last point/question- I'm afraid to strain to hard to go to the bathroom. Any BTDT moms out there have any advice about how hard is too hard to push?
Sorry, I know this is gross but I'm seriously needing to get through this!!

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Mom to Cam and Al, now expecting baby number 3, August 2016. Praying for lots of sticky baby dust!
You would think! I was told 4 or 5 days after discharge and I'm on day two. Ugh.
I also agree with calling your doc and getting advice!
Also wanted to add that that REALLy sucks and I'm sorry

When all else fails, a sausage biscuit from Mc Donald's works like a charm.
Good luck and happy pooping
Funny you call it taco hell that's what my family calls it regularly because of its 'side effects'.
Good luck to you. It's gotta come out soon!
