My c-section wasn't bad at all. Not the surgery. The recovery process was harder. I definitely would suggest you get help and don't miss out on your medication. What's crazy is someone posted the very same thing before I had mine and I forgot one day. Man oh man I didn't let that happen again. When I felt I was getting constipated I ate fruit that made me go to the bathroom like cherries along with my stool softener.

If you plan on breastfeeding you might want to think about trying something more natural for a stool softener. Also to help with the constipation try not to take a lot of the norcos they'll prescribe you, they make you super constipated.

Good to know, thank you so much @adaraa126

just take 1 day at a time and make sure you get lots of help once you go home

also on a side note make you sure you prescribed a good stool softner..that first bowel movement after a c section can be pretty rough :(
