TMI but I just had my daughter 3 days ago , and of course I got stiches idk how many but I'm scared to poop and I bought stool softners but how long will it take to work
I've been drinking water all day seens the hospital but i guess I'm just scared to poop thinking my stiches would open @emilybbyh
well usually within a few hours drink green tea it makes ya go good luck
Take those things religiously! just as directed and drink plenty of water and juice it will help a ton. Trust me you don't want to go and have not taken enough. If you do that you should be fine.
I got stitches with my first but was so constipated in my last trimester that I had a good go less than 5 hours of her being born
