Not a question...more of an over share!

Well I am warning you that this is tmi...so leave now if you don't want to know. ...here goes..I pooped today..I am 5 days PP from an emergency c section and I thought I might not ever poop again..my stomach hurt so bad! Lots of water, fresh fruits and veggies...colace and milk of magnesia twice and it finally happened! I feel like a new woman and even think I need a t shirt!!! Sorry but I am so happy I felt that it truly was necessary to share!

A nurse told me before I left the hospital 4oz apple juice or prune juice helps too. I didn't have a c section and not having issues using the bathroom but I thought I'd share that with you just incase all else false S
