poop.

These days my pooping seems to be under control, though I wish the hemis would heal. My baby is a poop machine. I call him Rocket Pooper because I'm pretty sure without a diaper he'd make it across a room.

How's your poop?

    I keep getting really strong contractions followed by the feeling that I have to poop, so I am super afraid to poop.

    Post partum pooping sucks, even with a cesarean. I can't imagine vaginal deliveries. You ladies are awesome.

    I had hard marble poops (even taking Colace twice daily since birth) every three days or so. The hemis are killer, how do you cure them?! Yesterday I had moes tacos for lunch and now I feel horrible. Within 30 min of eating I was running to the bathroom (at the grocery store... Not fun). I've had serious pooping problems since. If it doesn't go away by tomorrow I'm headed to the doc.

    I honest to God thought I gave birth again this morning. Shouldn't have reduced my Colace from 200mg to 100mg!

    I have been constipated all week.  I ate Frosted Mini Wheats this morning and finally had some success.  But now I feel like I have to poop and like I am having contractions.  Hard to tell what is going on!

    Huge poops twice to three times a day and lots of gas. I constantly feel like have to go or pass gas ben when there is nothing there, has me worried since everyone keeps talking about the start of labor feeling like that.

    I had my pp poop today. I was irrationally scared ahead of time, but actually it wasn't that bad.

    My first PP poop happened about 4 days after delivery. Holy crap. Literally. I was hugging a huge bath towel, crying, and yelping worse than when I delivered my LO. My Mom came running in to see if I was ok (bc my Husband was dealing with a poop emergency with my LO) and I contemplated letting her hold my hand through it. Ugh. Don't forget your Colace ladies!!

    I guess this would be an appropriate place to ask this. I added Colace to my list of things to get at the store and I'm standing there trying to pick a kind. One seems to be the popular brand for like $10 and another is off brand for $3 and the same amount of pills. Am I okay with the off brand? I hate paying more for the same thing.

    I buy the generic & it's works for me. Same active ingredient for like $10 less!

    They should have it as an "as needed" order on your postpartum orders. If not just ask your nurse for it twice a day!

    @MrsBHM‌ - Thank you! I've never used it before. Do I take it to the hospital with me?

    The nurses gave me some twice a day in the hospital but they said it is by request only. Motrin is the only med they gave automatically.

    I was thinking it'd probably be better for you to ask your doc to "schedule it" for you. Meaning he'll write an order so you get it twice a day and don't have to remember to ask for it.
