TMI, but I just had a BM the size of a cucumber (first one since Simon was born 4 days ago). Oh my god, I feel like I birthed a second baby. I can tell there is more to come too. Please tell me it gets better!
Agreeing with PPs, drink ALL the water. Can't stress this enough! I made the mistake of not doing that a few weeks postpartum with BFing and ended up spending an hour trying to pass a coke can essentially, so painful (sorry TMI).
Yup. What they said. The morning before the first event, i ordered bran muffin, yogurt, fruit for breakfast and dutifully took the colace with my whole bottle(24oz) of water. It wasn't dreadful. Not fun, but not as bad as when I stopped thd colace after discharge and was still on the meds. Holy smokes.... Hearkened to the Zofran days, except worse.
