Why does this scare me more than birthing my bun??

Im so glad i had tips like these five months ago. I have a fear of this. My mother has cerebral palsy and so shed be constipated for weeks. Her pooping was sometimes a hospital emergency that required minor surgery. That kind of pain is something you never forget when you see it. I was drinking about 2 gallons a day, chugging laxatives and only ate soft food. SO MANY PRUNES! I didnt have any painful poops. When i was breastfeeding, a couple hard ones, but never anything serious

I waited 3 days! Had him on the 13th didn’t go until the 16th and then shortly after we were able to leave 😅

Pffftt I started taking a stool softener the day I hit 37 weeks and took 1 single pill daily until almost 3 weeks postpartum. I didn't do that with my 1st cause I didn't know. I did know with my 2nd and it made my postpartum poops uneventful and smooth.

My baby never stop nursing it is 24h without stopping and i give him formula to get some sleep beside my nipples hurt like hell 😢😢😢😢 and cracked into half even tho i feel like he take good amount of the boob he sleeps 3min and demande again

I waited almost 4-5 days and my husband had to hold my hand and encourage me cause i was so scared 😅😅😅

I mixed up my stool softeners with my ibuprofen from the hospital. So less than a day. 😂😂😂

I had a C-section and I didn't realize until 3 days after birth that I hadn't pooped. Felt that I had to go but couldn't and was so uncomfortable. My amazing nurse Mary made me a warm prune juice drink with a little butter in it. I pooped with ease less than 30 min later 😂😂 highly recommend!! Thank you nurse Mary!!

More suspect challenge from you both plzzzzz😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just had a baby and my husband named him Ali. Yes, pronounced like Mohamad Ali ive been asked this by everyone already. 😂😅 The nurse spelled it on my board as "Ollie" though 😂😂😅

StApppppp😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 How about ladasha? Spelled La-A😅😅😅😅😅

Just had baby. Had an emergency c section and no epidural . Been trying to poop for days .still in hospital. Been on the toilet for 3 hours 😢

That nutribullet is EVERYTHING

Damn it! I had needed that advice in my post uterus removal and post ureter re-implantation surgery days! The pillow hugging is such a smart move! 😮

Mine was rhe day after labor. Tell you what i am so thankful i tore upward

I tared upwards so poop was ok and normal when it came on the second day, pee however was a nightmare I cried every single time.

I was so scared after my c section, but at day 2 I couldn't hold it anymore. It wasn't pleasant and the incision did hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.😅🫣

Don't understand why hospitals don't have squatty pottys! We have one in every toilet at home 😉 Intending to take my mine with me next time amd make it versatile use as potential birthing stool and for that first 💩

Wow 😮 this is gold! Thanks for sharing this ❤

My mom waited almost a week and then lied to the nurses that she had went as she didn't have the money to stay in the hospital longer... so now I have to hear the fun story of her going at it with a spoon at home as she was so desperate, and they didn't actually help her with any laxitives or anything in that time either so it was a rock

I realized the support tip after 3 days of hell trying to go with massive hemorrhoids and pain. Supporting helped reduce the pain a lot.

I had my baby a month ago and I there were some small hiccups that people will tell me to forget because I have a healthy baby but I keep remembering and it makes me cry every time. 😢

39 weeks and being induced later today, I’ve been dealing with contractions and my goodness…. The respect I have for women continues to grow.

You all are so pretty and thank you for all you do 💕❤️💜

Omg i watched this like 5 times and Everytime i laugh harder😂😂😂. This is so very true tho.

How many DAYS?! I was told "12hrs max or enema/laxatives" for an induced vaginal in '96. And I had crazy good ins- no "24hrs & out the door" type stuff, so it wasn't bc of that. My **minimum** mandatory recovery stay (& baby's too) was 5 full days or they wouldn't pay a cent. 5-7 days, 100% covered. Anything over 7d & up to 10d (without medical necessity) I'd be responsible for 20% of total. Everything above 10d without medical necessity I'd be responsible for in full. ALL for both of us. Find ins coverage like that now offered willingly by an employer on day one with minimal employee monthly payments (I was paying roughly $12/m for THREE PEOPLE. The rest was paid by employer.)I dare you.

Yeah I’m 7 weeks from induction and my son’s name will be Xavier. That’s it. As a teacher I just can’t. Someone told me to add a z to it and I nearly choked.

I'll be honest, I don't remember how long it took for my first postpartum poops. I do remember it being way easier with baby number 2, largely because I didn't tear, praise God!

I pooped the same day I birthed my daughter and it wasn’t bad at all. Granted I was so swollen from severe complications that I was already in so much pain a poop was nothing 🤣

If a nurse told me they hated birth plans, I’d want a different nurse because that would make me feel like they don’t care about my desires and experiences

Brilliance, I wish someone had told me to hug a pillow

I was too scared to go and held it for two days. I found that magnesium taurate tablets helped the best. I was very careful about what I ate. Nothing processed or empty carbs, that stuff doesn't want to come out without a fight. 😅

I am not pregnant atm and dont intend to be anytime soon (ive only had an ectopic pregnant unfortunately) but i watch every video to learn 😂

I hope I get a fun nurse like this when I make a family 😂

The more videos I see, the more I wonder why anybody gets pregnant.This sounds like hell on earth. I'm so grateful you're doing this so young women understand exactly what they're getting themselves into by choosing to get pregnant and bear a child. To me, it seems like complete and utter hell on your body from conception through eighteen months postpartum.

My first 3 births were homebirths and it was easy peasy. No problem whatsoever. I was so nervous. With my 4th there were alot of complications and I had been awake for weeks and I chose a hospital transfer and an epidural, and I don’t know if that’s what did it but that first BM was a nightmare, actually they all were for several weeks 😢 Not sure what exactly the difference was but it was awful.

I was definitely the puker with all 3 of my babies. 🙈

I pooped the day after my C-section. It was fine except for the fact that it was diarrhea. I wish I would have refused the stool softener they gave me 😂

Oh my Lord i'm so glad i'm never having kids! Don't know why i stalk your videos so hard, but i love them. Sending love to all you ladies brave enough to do it!

Also, magnesium! Try to have some in your system before Baby is born! It helps to have already been hydrated and loose before giving birth so that afterwards you don't miss a beat.

Good to know also love your videos ❤️💕💜

Next time I'm starting Miralax every day before I even give birth. The fissures that arose a couple weeks after birth were TORTURE

This just wasn't an issue for me. Like at all. It was a,total non evemt. Apparently I filled my entire cathermter bag in like 6 hours so I was hydrating like a boss. Drink a bunch and eat lots of dried fruits.

I pooped the next day but with a 2nd degree tare it was horrible. It was so soft and I did all of this stuff and still cried lol. I used a cold tucks pad to hold my perineum (where my stitches were located) and that helped. Also don't push at all. If you have to push to poop, get up and walk around, drink some water, take some more laxative lol. I always say the worst and most painful part about having a baby vaginally is pooping after. I cried the first few times. ETA: I took miralax daily for 2 weeks before my induction to prepare for the postpartum poop. Off topic but I was so nervous the day I was going oyn that I pooped all day long. Super interesting that my body cleared out even though I was being induced. One sign that non induced labor is coming is an increase in bowel movements. That is to prepare the body and make room for baby.

Its the 21 November 2024 time 03:15 I'm alone with my six year old I am 37 weeks pregnant an just had pain in my buttocks thinking it may be a sign that baby is coming i watched videos to motivate me if i give birth alone while waiting on the ambulance thus video had me laughing 😂❤😅

I had a really deep episiotomy and was dreading my first poop. I was pleasantly surprised as it wasnt in the slightest bit painful. What was excruciatingly painful was when my stitches were healing but not dissolving. It was even worse when I i tried to poop. My midwife snipped the stitches and the relief was immediate.

Omg that Stanley B**b mug!!!

I literally emptied my colon during my birth. It was like 4 days after I finally pooped again and I was so scared bc I’ve always been a constipated girly and thought I was gonna hurt. I did not take laxities (they make me sick ☹️) but to my surprise it was pain free. Uncomfortable, but pain free. And I had a ton of stiches due to zig zag 2nd * tears🥲

Both my OB and postpartum nurse were amazed when I had a bowel movement just 24 hours after I gave birth. Granted I had a C-section, but I was lucky because I didn’t have any pain other than from my incision.

My postpartum poop was worse than labour. Glad I have these tips for baby number 2 due in March!
