Constipation from breastfeeding

2 replies

This may be tmi but I need help/hope.
Been breastfeeding for 7 weeks and have been constipated the whole time. Started off on lactulose which didnt help, then on to dulcosate (5 a day) didn't really help and now on laxisol (think thats it) took 2 sachets yesterday and nothing happened. On 2 so far today.
Anyone else experienced similar?
I also have a shallow pain at my lower front r side and Ive now terrified myself I have scar adhesion from my c section which is causing a blockage - according to the Internet basically cannot be fixed.
Now have the fear I'm going to have chronic constipation/pain.

Oh dear. That sounds hard.

Stupid question but have you seen the doctor?

Ive seen 2 GPs and been to the hospital for blood tests to rule out appendicitis.
They did blood tests, ruled out infection/appendicitis and sent me home.
