C-section and going to the toilet

Yeah it was about a week for me when I started going tiny bits, a couple weeks before it got more ‘normal’. I bought lactolose

You can buy laxido over the counter, I took 3 a day to help me go! Whilst you are there get some windeze aswell as the trapped wind will come next and it is so incredibly painful xx

I don't think i went till day 4 after my section. It's really normal to not go for a few days afterwards. I did take a laxative to make it easier though as i was so scared as it felt i was going to pop open 😂 you can get laxatives from any chemist and i second above about getting something for the trapped gas, peppermint water worked wonders for me

Took me about a week to first going toilet and I was taking laclulose, I also tried peppermint oil and drinking peppermint tea. The worst part was the trapped wind and how gassy you get following 🤣 It was scared to pass wind and go toilet in case my opened up my scar, but also it was like my body forgot how the function worked lool

I got some sachets prescribed by my GP after contacting them about this same problem as I wasn’t given anything to come home with and the dihydrocodeine makes constipation worse again

I took lactalose, I think it took around 4 days before I went!

Yes try and get some stool softeners. Because the first few poops are very difficult to pass. I made sure they gave me lactulose before I left the hospital. You can get it over the counter I believe. I used fybogel after my first birth which you can get from the supermarket, it did help but made me super gassy.

For me it was day 5 and I will not lie it was the worst experience of my life! Even after taking the meds from the hospital, even now 17days post I still am not back to my normal although it is getting better.

I was prescribed lactulose defo try get something prescribed also eat foods high in fibre and be sure to drink plenty of water

I found that peppermint tea helped me. Not hot but a warm drinkable temperature. I had a couple each day.

I had my poo on the 3rd day after Cs drinking coffee in the morning
