I’m 5 days pp tomorrow and the same, no signs of needing to go lol

Did you have drugs? I think with medications it can be very normal x

I think it’s normal to a point. You normally ‘clear out’ during labour and you might be a little dehydrated etc so make sure you’re fuelling your body well with lots of fibre and fluids and hopefully will happen soon! I do remember it being a thought I had after my first but do speak to the midwife about it if you’re concerned at all x
