DS was born on Sunday morning after a seriously short labour (3h 40min) which has left me somewhat shell shocked. Since that time I have been unable to poo, despite eating my body weight in dried apricots and fluffing the hideous lactulose. I didn't have any issues of this nature while pregnant following my discovery of the aforesaid lactulose but now worry I may never poo again. How long after childbirth did it take for you and do you have any tips to speed things up?
