11 days post partum, constipated - help!

[davidtennantsmistress]

help! 6 apricots not working, lactlose i've taken today not working, I've had stitches (2nd/boarder 3rd degree tear) so am anxious about going either way, but so far i'm dreading when I have to go.

am eating at least 2 portions of fruit plus my apricots & trying with the veg as well. am BF DS, help!

Are you drinking enough? Make sure you drink plenty of water, especially as you're BFing.

prob not tbh, i'm trying for 2 lt a day but bearly managing one atm.

Glycerin suppositories.

Prune juice and lots of it. It doesn't taste as bad as you'd think.
When you want to 'go' get a pad and push it up firmly against your stitches. This way it really doesn't hurt much at all, I promise.

If it helps I am 11 days PP with 3rd degree tearing - it's not bad going to the loo at all. I thought it was going to awful

Keep up with the lactulose, but that only softens, it doesnt make you go. The mat unit gave me fybogel to help, might be worth giving that a go

Congratulations on your little bundle
