June 8, 2023 at 7:41 pmSurprisingly not bad, although I was terrified it would be, from all the horror stories
June 9, 2023 at 7:08 pmVery scary! But not as bad as i thought it would be. Stool softeners for the win!
June 9, 2023 at 7:11 pmNot as scary as I thought! I blame the large McDonald’s order I ate after birth
June 9, 2023 at 7:16 pmNot as bad as the internet let on. Not fun but after birthing a baby it wasn’t nearly as bad.
June 9, 2023 at 7:23 pmNot too bad. Ate a lot of cherries and prunes beforehand and used a stool to put my feet on.
Wasn’t bad
Horrible. Especially since I was stitched up from hole to hole due to 3rd degree tear.
First kid not bad… second kid.. not fun
Absolutely horrifyingly terrible. Scariest part of the whole situation
Birthing through my butt, horrendous
Totally fine
NOT fun with a considerable tear

Totally fine
It was good. I did prepare by taking stool softeners ASAP
Wasn’t bad either

One word: Miralax. It made all the difference
Not nearly as bad as anticipated
Try bearing down to poop after a c-section! Even bearing down to pee hurt
Very scary! But not as bad as i thought it would be. Stool softeners for the win!
Fine, but took me a week. Don’t force it!!

BRUTAL with my first, OK with my second!
Fine. Had started stool softeners a couple days before labor which helped.
Not as bad as the internet let on. Not fun but after birthing a baby it wasn’t nearly as bad.
It was ok but it took 4 days after the c-section
Scary but colace helped me
Easy to pass thanks to stool softeners. Had it three days after delivery!
