Poop after c section

Hi, I had an emergency section and was given lactulose to take as well. I think it was Wednesday before I had a bowel movement (had my c section on the Sunday). Things should start moving on their own pretty soon but if not you could maybe increase your dose of lactulose a little bit!

When the time comes I would definitely give yourself plenty of time to actually go to the toilet. I was on the pan for a good half an hour I would say waiting for me to pass everything I’d be storing up😅

I think the first poo anxiety had definitely set in for me by the time I went so maybe just sitting on the toilet scrolling through your phone or listening to music might help too! Raising your knees up while sitting on the toilet is good for getting things going as well. I was still in hospital so I had one of the bins on its side in front of me to rest my feet on 😂

ah thank you for the advice!
Hopefully it’ll happen soon 😆

i also had an emergency section on a sunday and first went the early hours of the wednesday, i’d be having two 5ml of lactulose 3 times a day (more than it states on the bottle but i had the fear😂) im 3 weeks pp now and it’s still a little difficult sometimes so keep hydrated and on the lactulose, also a step stool / bin is a great help!
