Diarrhea after c section

2 days post c section and had planned section but needed forceps so can imagine there is going to be some resettling needed.

Came home last night and had diarrhea since about 7pm - grateful for the easy bowel movement but wondering how long this usually goes on? Keeling hydrated and going to have some toast but the constant trips to the toilet are not exactly the taking it easy in bed i imagined lok

I would call doctor that’s really unusual in case some kind of infection

Were you prescribed any laxatives in hospital and if so, could you have taken too much? If not, then I would be worried about a potential hospital acquired infection (eg C diff). Definitely contact your midwife or maternity triage.
