I delivered last Thursday and have lots of st_tches and swelling down there....I still haven't had a bowel movement. I can tell sometimes I need to, but I just can't. My st_tches are so, so painful...Any advice what to do? I'm really worried it is going to hurt like h__l. I'm going on 8 days without a bowel movement. UGHHH.

They gave me milk of magnesia in the hospital-it really seemed to help. You could also up your fiber intake and drink lots and lots of water, maybe it will help. It totally was mind over matter-I had a really bad c-section and was afraid of what would happen but it turned out ok. Good luck :)

I was constipated for the first 3 months of my sons life. I was in so much pain that i would have rather giver birth all over again than go to the bathroom, thats how bad it was. I tried everything, prune juice, colace, suppositories, everything. Im gonna sound like a commercial here, but try activia yogurt. Its the only thing that made me feel better, in the mean while use a sitz bath with hot water, it takes the pain right away, also apply some vaseline to keep the area moisturized. Hope it helps!

They had to give me an enema in the hospital, but after that I felt great!! You can buy enemas at the drugstore, but I don't know if I could give myself one.
