No bowel movement after c-sec
No bowel movement after c-sec
I had a c-sec on Friday. It's 4 days now and I have not had a bowel movement yet. Is this normal? I'm planning to have some milk of magnesia tomorrow. When did you mommas have a BM after your c-sec?

I have had 6 c sections the last one 5 weeks ago but the longest time it took for bowl movement was 3 days. my hospital wont let you leave untill you have bowl movement and pass wind.

I went on day five after and I'm 6 weeks pp now and my poop is finally regular I was only going like once a week and it took me a hour each time. keep taking stool softeners and lots of fiber that will help it a lot.

I had mine 2 days after but they said not to worry unless it had been a week. Are you taking stool softeners and drinking plenty of fluid?
