How to Poop After a C-Section

It’s not uncommon to experience some challenges with bowel movements after a c-section. This could include constipation or pain with pooping. Here are some tips to help you poop better after a c-section:

✅Apply pressure over your abdomen/scar with a pillow. This supports your healing incision while you poop.

✅Place a squatty potty under your feet. This helps your pelvis and pelvic floor muscles get in an optimal position to help you poop.

✅Make sure to drink plenty of water during the day. Proper hydration helps keep your intestines happy.

✅Include fiber and magnesium rich foods into your diet to help keep your gut happy
