I haven't pooped since giving birth to Elijah and that was during. So I'll say I haven't pooped in 5 days until now. I feel so relieved the stool softeners at the hospital were npy eorking. I pickrf up my prescription yesterday but didn't take the pill until today and not even 5 minutes later I'm on the toilet. It kind of hurts wuth the stitches and all but if I can push out a baby I can push out a poop.

    @OhHowWonderful: My prayers be with you lol. It hurt like hell not being able poop. That stool softener helped out alot out I am hoping I can start going on my own.

    @Fate: With the stool softener it was a breeze lol.

    @perly: I don't even want to imagine your pain.

    @NylasMommy: 9 days? Wow. This is a pregnancy board/forum nothing is TMI here, lol. Pushing out a baby? Oh that's easy, lol.

    @NylasMommy: I was 8lbs9oz and my mom had one contraction and I shot out like a football. The doctor caught me with one hand. I was ready lol. Yes, I am breastfeeding.

    @debs: Aww that sucks. They gave me a stool softener the next day after having my son. It didn't work, but I didn't have to or feel the need to poop. I was presrcibed a different brand when I was released. I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was on the toilet and I couldn't have felt more relieved.
