Anyone else get the rumble and sensation they want to pass wind (fart) but then it never makes it out? I only had my section yesterday x

Sounds like excess air in your body from the C section. Once you start moving a little you should pass it . I was farting non stop after mine 😂

Peppermint tea should help, there is a lot of trapped air following abdominal surgery. They sometimes prescribe something for it but the tea helped with mine xx

That’s normal, let it rip though don’t hold it in when it comes. I didn’t pass much gas with my first so it took days to poop but my second I was farting like a trooper and pooped the next morning. Totally different experience and the farting made it easier xx

Yes that’s normal. Try a peppermint capsule or some peppermint tea and it should get things moving.

I want to let it out but I physically can’t guys! That’s the problem x

Keep moving, drink plenty and take the senna tablets/lactoluse they give you. Neck it! Xx

Omg yup! I couldn't fart for weeks by pushing. It had to come out by itself or it was not coming out. It was HORRIBLE!!!!! Buscapan!

All normal! As others have said peppermint tea, and moving around if you can; plus chewing gum! Chewing gum really helped me.
