[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t automatically take the narcotic painkillers if you don’t feel you need them. Advil was enough for me with my second. The first time I just took what they gave me and the resulting constipation was by far the worst part of the whole c-section/post-partum experience. By FAR!!  Seriously. Stick with Advil. [/quote]

I agree with this. If anything, the constipation causes more pain than the surgery because when your bowels are full and sluggish, they press on the incisions. I brought my own colace and water and started on the ASAP. I brought my own snacks, too.[/quote]

I will be the dissenter! The oxycodone made my life so much easier those first few days. The pain was basically gone, I had a nice relaxing buzz, could sleep easily, and it made it easier for me to walk around and therefore heal faster. I took a ton of miralax and colace from day 1, and the first poop wasn’t awful. Well worth the benefit of the narcotics for me. OP is going to be stuffed full of narcotics anyways after that C section- REAL ones- that a few doses of oxycodone aren’t going to make a big difference. [/quote]
