I heard that they stick a suppository in you when they’re closing you up. I don’t know how true this is though.

They gave me stool softeners after I gave birth, I had a c-section though.

With all 3 they gave me stool softener and gas relief pills.

I had suppositories done both times. I’m in the uk tho so the NHS could do things differently to other countries if you’re not from here. If you’re worried get some dulcolax and take it 2 days after

Use it after. Lactulose is good stuff. Tastes like honey. Its also hard to overdose on. You just drink a lot of water with it wnd it brings water to your bowel

i don’t think there’s much point, they give you stool softeners to take after and a suppository while you’re in there, you also probably won’t poo for about a week so no rush x
