Honestly, I don't know. I'd try the suppository and take the colace. Tackle it at both ends... so to speak. [ Reply | More ]

water, stool softener and you have to work at it. Push, push, push. It's gonna hurt but then you will feel so much better. [ Reply | More ]

Take a laxative or stool softener. Did you take enemas before giving birth? [ Reply | More ]

keep taking it...it will help you. That is why it gets prescribed. If you had a epidural or spinal, you need it because the anaesthesia really fs up your bowel. [ Reply | More ]

np: I will never forget a friend telling me to always take the colace. She said she didn't and her first poop was like, "shitting glass". After a painful birth, I almst passed out hearing that. [ Reply | More ]

This is really tough. You have to take BOTH a stool softener and a laxative. MOM always worked for me. My gastro gave a sript once that was terrific. Don't remember what it was. You can use a gylerin suppository to help grease things up. [ Reply | More ]
