Postpartum constipation

Anonymous
Another glamorous topic

I just had baby #3 about two months ago. Pre babies, I went to the bathroom daily no issues. It returned to this after both of my first two babies.

Pregnant with #3, I had horrible constipation and ended up doing miralax nightly.

Postpartum I am going to the bathroom a couple times a week at most. This has never happened to be before. Is this normal postpartum? Did my body become dependent on miralax? Something else?

Maybe your diet - not drinking enough fluids? Try switching up your diet - eat prunes w/each meal and see if that helps. Are you nursing?
