Post c section constipation!!
What laxatives are safe to take when breastfeeding? I am seeing mixed advice online. Had a c section 6 days ago and have been super constipated, lactulose isn’t helping and I can’t get hold of my midwife today. Need help asap, is so painful when I try to go 😭

I think you can take glycerine suppositories but double check with GP. Drink A LOAD of water. Really takes a lot those first days of breastfeeding!
i used to take lactulose but it made me feel a bit unwell so i just had to commit to 3 plus litres of water a day and a mainly whole foods diet, too much processed stuff would just make it worse

This happened to me to the point where I would have my poo stuck. Eat more fibre and take laxatives that they provide if you have too
