Constipation 2 weeks post C Section

[Katiek1986]

Hi guys
I had an emergency C Section 2 weeks ago - v traumatic. 24hours labour etc.
I was able to poo after 3/4 days and things were moving ok until 3 days ago and since then nada.
I am taking lactulose and smoothies with linseeds and gallons of water.
The pain of my section is still really bad and Im sure the constipation is making it worse. I thought things were ok because Id been going but now I am worried!
Anyone else?
Cheers

Hi @Katiek1986 C Section for me too and I was constipated for nearly two months afterwards.
Everyone is different but it will ease up eventually. Just keep doing what your doing and try and force things as otherwise you'll have piles to add to the discomfort

Emcs for me too, involving major pph. I was constipated for a good 6 weeks after 😬. Though I did slightly up my dose of lactulose which seemed to reset me!

Eat two big bags of sugar free sweets! I ate a bag of sugar free liquorice and there was no stopping it
