What laxatives are safe to take while breastfeeding ?? 5 days postpartum still haven't pooped.…

I'd ask ur docs office to double check but my doc made me take peri-colase which is a stool softener and laxative together. worked wonders after my last c secion..got it again for after this pregnancy too

My doctors office is closed now. It's starting to make my stomach cramp not being able to poop @hraciebaby

@graciebaby,

@kclaireeabbey, that's what my doc told me to use last time around and this time around too. I will be having another c section soooo pushing is kind of hard especially being stuck up from all the meds for pain etc. some women use milk of magnesia but I've never tried it. I have used cellium husk which works WONDERS for me. I also have prune juice waiting for after. I had a bad experience having gas pains and being stuck up for a weeks str8 last time around so I'm paranoid about it this time around too. Gas cramps are horrible too. i bought my gas-x, cellium husk and peri-colase along w cranberry juice and prune juice for when I come home.

@kclaireeabbey, hopefully 1 of those help u 2. 1st thing I would try is the cellium husk .

Milk of magnesia worked for me 👍🏽 tastes a little chalky but works wonders

I was told miralax was safe to take
