Hey ladies,
so I know gross question, but since I'll be having my 3rd C-section, and I'll be in the hospital for 3 days, I wanted to know if anyone ate / consumed anything that helped with the first BM to make it less painful. With both my sons, I didn't have a BM until 4 days after their birth, and it was extremely painful and horrific.
With c-sections they make you take perocet which helps to slow down the bowels even more, but I did recall eating some ice cream on my 2nd day there because they offered it and it was yummy. Hospital food is also very low in fiber, so what food works great?
My goal this time is to try to have a BM in the hospital before the 3 days are up, instead of struggling at home.
Again, very sorry for the TMI post, but just wanted to see what other ladies had done to speed the process.
