Sorry for posting here about this but just had my baby 3 days ago I got release today don't have a bowel movement but I was passing gas now that I'm home I can't seem to let one loose (sorry) will apple juice work? Walking more? Should I put my binder on to see if it helps any? I don't have no money for medication right now.

It took me 4 days to finally pass a bowel movement and it was a difficult and painful task . 2 days before my release nurse. Started giving me stool softeners I'm sure it helped a ton and I recommend wearing your binder as much as possible it helps to splint/cushion your incision when you cough and sneeze and laugh ..it helps a wholllle lot seems to also help you slim midsection quicker by sucking it all in and you don't have that jelly belly feeling of your insides roaming free I hated that feeling eww

You could always go back to the doctors and get a prescription I on your next check up

When you do get money you could take senokot and you can also take it if your breast feeding. And you can take that once a day. Trust me it helps alot!!

But If you eat alot it cleans you out, water Mellon, lots of Apple juice, if you're able to get otc medicine stool softener help

After my csection i didn't pass a bowl movement for 2 weeks. I drank prune juice mixed with white cran strawberry juice everyday, stool softeners, apple juice, and ate only soups, no solids. Hopefully your bowl movement isn't painful, good luck hun!

Did they give you anything to take to help with constipation?? They should've been giving it to you in the hospital as well because the main meds can make you constipated. I was sent home with colace and told to take it twice daily and to make sure I was drinking plenty of water. Colace is also available w/out a prescription. I had a c section on the 25th and didn't have a movement until 5 days after my section. I'm still only having movements every 3/4 days and its been almost 3 weeks =/

I've never had a c section ... but when I drink prune juice I mix it with apple juice cuz prune juice is nasty   lol and it works for me :)

Apple juice could work or even prune juice, but I don't like prune juice.
