I had a c section and it took me a week or a week and half to have my first bowel movement after I delivered

i was constipated during my 5 day stay after the c section but after that i was okay the first day home but they had to give me magnesium milk or something like that it was a laxative otherwise i would’ve suffered longer lol i was dying already for 3 days

For my vaginal, I had issues for the first 5 weeks. I only went when I took a stool softener! I think I finally became normal at 8 weeks PP

I was taking some random stool softener for the first 3-4 weeks and it was very very painful to go. then, I was recommended miralax and that got me going so regular and so smoothly! I will be going straight to it after this pregnancy!

U need to get a stool softener restrolax is available on amazon. Need to avoid straining.
It was more than a week I think. Also add more fiber in your diet.

i pooped the day after 🤪it was fine!

4 days

11 months postpartum and still struggling with it on and off again . Iv been so constipated this week it’s been awful. Been miralaxing and benifibering it . Juice . Idk for some people pelvic floor issues never go away .

4 days for me. I took a stool softener daily starting after birth. Now 2 weeks postpartum. Still take stool softener on occasion but things are returning to normal.

I was on lactose (poo softener) I went 3days post section was not painful and very easy. I started taking it immediately after giving birth, trust me it helps
When did everyone start using this brand and specifically which products?
My LO is only 8 weeks so just using water when cleaning him but slowly want to start incorporating if required?

My newborn cries a lot. In comparison to my first born who rarely cried.
My toddler a shouted at baby today when she was crying. Also mimicking baby when she cries and has told her several times to be quiet.
Usually she is very loving to her sibling.
How would you handle this?
Any tips

My 8 week old had just spent 3 days in the hospital and we've come home tonight.
Its left me feeling incredibly anxious! I feel sick, I'm struggling to hold any conversations, I am almost scared to be on my own with baby as I don't think i can cope!
Help 😫
Is this just the come down from a few days in hospital and sleep deprivation? Or should I probably seek help?
My husband is great at supporting, he let's me vent and takes the baby as much as possible.
I just don't know how to shake this feeling!!

When did postpartum hair loss get you? I hear mixed opinions on when it happens. Currently 14 weeks and no loss yet but I’m not naive enough to think it won’t happen to me haha
