Help. Need to poop.

Postpartum Recovery

I didn’t know what flair to use because I’m not technically postpartum since it’s been 12 weeks… but oh my God I’ve been struggling to have a BM for over a month! I am only pooping 1 time/week. Last week I finally pooped after a week and it was worse than any pain I experienced having the baby. I clogged the toilet. It wasn’t my house!

Stool softeners, coffee, magnesium wont even touch it. I don’t even feel the urge to go right now-it’s like it’s been reabsorbed back into my body but I know it’s deep in there because the weight is piling on when on step on the scale because waste is not being removed from my body and when it’s finally time to go again it’s going to be horrible. I don’t know if I should resort to chugging a gallon of prune juice or what but that might come out the wrong end.
