How long can constipation last after labor? I feel like it's been forever!

it took me a week to go to the bathroom and poop. and when it finally happened it was terrible.

It's been a week now for me. And I poop just a little bit but I feel pressure. It's a wired feeling that's there all the time. So uncomfortable. Makes me feel like it's never going to go away. @threekings101415

I remember when I had my daughter it hurted so bad . I used the hell out that spray in the blue can 😂😂

I just feel like I want to keep pushing and nothing. 😞 @monilovesautumn

yes!!! I hated that . they gave me colace . shit so gross

@faithfulness88, right I went through that. it took me a week to finally go it took so long I got worried. you should go eventually If not take stool softeners if that don't help then maybe try talking to your doctor.

I had a c-section and couldn't go for 3 days, I thought I was dying. But my nurse made me a little drink that worked within maybe 10 minutes. It was equal parts apple juice and prune juice with a tablespoon of sugar warmed up for 10-15 seconds. It works wonders

Girl I've been through so much still going at it that I'm getting depress. It's like I have poop a bit and it's fine but is till feel like somethings stuck. I know it's tmi but it's so uncomfortable and I'm losing my mind. I told my dr already and since in taking iron pills I think that makes it so much worst. @threekings101415

I think I'm gonna get that. Or at least talk to my dr about it @monilovesautumn

oh yes iron pills don't make nothing no better. try apple juice usually that help you go. but talk to your doctor it has to be something they can do.

Will definitely try apple juice. I feel like my tail bone pops too. Girl keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏻 I am desperate. @threekings101415

I did prune juice two days ago and it gave me major direah. Sorry tmi. It's just wired like after that my stomach was hurting bad and I went back to being constipated. It's been on and off. I just don't know what to do. But again I'm taking iron pills. @kcamps

yes get it . it works . almost too fast.. its another stool softener

Girl when I pee it even feels weird from back there. I can owe no problem but the back feels like very weird and uncomfortable. @monilovesautumn

trust me I know . its going to feel that way for awhile . at least until your post partum visit .

get some stool softner it will help lol I was so scared to go after having a baby and Also pain pills messed everything up but it will help

I just now started back using the restroom little more comfortably but I still have pressure when I use it I spray the heck out that can and I use that little bottle and the witch hazel pads but it's just better to use the restroom more comfortable now😊

@monilovesautumn @lilleeandbrantley I am taking the stool softener. I can't sit for weeks to go by to feel better.

It's been like what two weeks for you already? I'm on my first week and it's been so miserable. @mr_mccoylane

I loved that bottle and witch hazel

@mr_mccoylane,

Yes Hun it started the first. Week I hated it. After I have burth they gave me stool softener I was sacred to use it but Yeah it still kind of hurt

@faithfulness88,

And yes @monilovesautumn, at first bi wasn't using it as much but now I apart every time I use the restroom

@monilovesautumn @mr_mccoylane Yes. I use the witch hazel pads too. I still have a few and I'm using them.

@faithfulness88, I sure will 😘😘
