omg I was so constipated I literally had to poop standing up😂 Just let it come out Im sorry someone needs to know. 😅 definitely recommend asking for a stool softener. Also If you have stiches and have to pee, start pouring warm water over stiches 1st, then begin to pee. Congratulations to all with precious new babies❤
I had an epidural so the poop after birth was honestly worse than having the actual baby
My first poop was more painful than giving birth. 🙃😅
Thankyou for coaching me while on the toilet. Felt like i had a friend with me in the bathroom.
ha ha LOVE it! Thanks for the feedback
Tried your tip right now with the wrapped tissue around the hand and it helped. Thank you
They gave me stool softener at the hospital. It was a bit hard especially with a second degree tear but I went 2 days after giving birth.
Just had my first baby vaginally two days ago and thankfully only had a 1st degree tear and I’ve been too scared to poop and rip a stitch or something but lemme tell you, that first poop feels absolutely amazing 😩🙏🏻 just gotta relax as much as you can and my tip would be don’t push so much or really at all if you can just let it slide out on its own 💀 literally sitting on the toilet as I’m typing this 😂good luck mommas !🤍☺️
I have stiches It hurts to go don’t wanna rip anything
I totally get you.
Me too😢😢😭😭😭 its so painful
PRO TIP: If you're *really* struggling to get that poop out...
1. Rubber gloves - manually persuade it to come out
2. Oil - vegetable oil, peanut oil, olive oil, etc. Lube it up down there and it will be much easier to push it out
I ended up getting postpartum hemorrhoids and constipation and this helped me get back to a normal and painless poop schedule. Also, be sure to hydrate well and keep taking those stool softeners!
Thanks for tip number 2, it's been quite painful...I am even drinking green tea as we speak to make it better...
@@thamanig9289 I also found that taking extra fiber helps more than a stool softener (for me, at least). Hope it helps! You got this! I hope you can heal up quick and get back to normal soon! I'm 3 months postpartum now and it's all back to normal down there. Keep your chin up, it gets better!
@@brendabeans4986 Thanks a lot. I am just 4 days postpartum and had my first stool a day after but it wasn't so easy hey. I am scared of messing with the stitches too.
@@thamanig9289 I feel ya girl. Hang in there, it gets better
@@brendabeans4986 Thank you.
I waited to comment until I was FULLY no longer constipated. 20 days PP as of today. First urge to poo was around 4 or 5 days PP. I can’t even begin to tell you how I don’t want to ever be pregnant/delivering again BECAUSE OF THE POOOOOO!!!!! As of today, after 15 days and many poop sessions, I am no longer constipated.
oh man... all the things we aren't prepared for as a new mom!!! Glad you have some relief now.
I had Stitches and I tried everything to go for a poo and I didn’t go for a poo for a week

The same problem here, let us know if you get solution please.

GREAT question!!
Same 🥹
Literally so many stool softeners fiber etc and NOTHING everytime 🤦🏼♀️ this is baby number 4 and damn I can never get that poop out before day 4 which is so not normal I normally poo everyday ish?
Do women really poop? I thought they don't!!
Watch one of Charlotte Johnson's poo videos, and you'll discover that women definitely do poo. And they can do quite a lot of poo in just one trip to the toilet.
LOL!
