C-Section with baby #1 was an emergency, and I was so constipated after (10+ days) that I would sit on the toilet and cry I was so uncomfortable. I was more scared about being constipated after this one than I was about the actual procedure and getting a baby at the end... It's the small victories, people.

I've been there. First kid, constipated for days and scared to take a dump for what felt like months after. Second kid, I had a game plan and was pooping in no time.

Congrats on your successful shit!

Awesome! This was the most traumatic part of the whole birth/recovery process for me.
