I totally agree, and it continues with breastfeeding I think... keep in mind I't will be a month on feb.3 I delivered my son, I still have the postpartum stools, so Without stool softeners I learned drinking a cup of water every time I wake up or before every feeding 8times a day, it helps sooo much !!

lol omg I remember! that was the worst especially since I had stitches too! the peri-bottle was seriously my BFF!

Oh my I know!! Had a third degree tear and the first time was HORRIBLE!! I was in tears!

@csusbells yep! it didn't work the 1st bm after pregnancy but did the 2nd. I feel better lol

@zapper ugh jealous!!! lol 😂

Omg! Seriously! Me too! I took so much docusate 😂

I heard that too but for me was a breeze! I had a 3rd degree tear too! Just had a colace pill every meal for the first week.. never had any pain at all!

I was the same way. I didn't wanna poop for like 2 weeks

awwww. did u take the before every meal??? cuz I kid u not that helped me soooooooo much

@csusbells yes and let me tell you it did NOT work. 😑😭

@sarahbelle, hahahaha omg same! When I finally knew I HAD to poop I was like ohhhh hell no. Nooooo.

@justusthree @raquely hahaha omg I was totally the same way 😂

@justusthree same here! I barely pooped today because I was literally terrified. As soon as I started feeling that "I have to poop" moment I was like OH HELL OH HELL OH HELL. 😂😂

have u been taking stool softener?

I didn't poop for a week after because I was so scared 😳😳

@mynameiscay hahahaha! 😂 I did that and it definitely made it feel better. But still hurt like a mother effer 😭😂 psh no shame here, once you push a child out of your vagina nothing is tmi 😂
