ok mommies I've had 2 csections and two vba2c ...my question is how long after a vaginal birth does it take to make a bowel movement I haven't had one since before I gave birth Wednesday ... I have horrible gas and I burp but no bowel movement my back and stomach hurt but I can't tell if its because of my uterus contracting from it coming back down in size and breastfeeding or if its because I haven't had a bowel movement...



they gave me a dose of some yesterday at the hospital and an all natural laxative and I've been non stop drinking apple juice and water so still nothing ?!
It might be both. You may want to send Hubby out for stool softeners
I didnt poop for 5 days after i had a c sec. it was my first baby, but even taking stool softeners i didnt go. It just takes a little bit
