So since my c section it hurts so bad to pee :( when will it go away? And is it normal to be constipated? They gave me 5 things of milk of magnesia and a stool softener and nothing

After my last c-section it hurt for me to pee for like 5 days. I hate getting a catheter. The constipation is super common. Keep taking your stool softeners, drink lots of water and eat foods high in fiber. The stool softener they've given me after all three was colace (doc-q-lace) and it worked great for me.

It takes me like 20 minutes to pee now cause it hurts so bad. Like a really bad bladder infection. And my incision hurts too when I do

I didn't have any trouble at all peeing after so I don't know about that. But it's very normal to be constipated after, your insides were cut open after all lol I got so backed up at the hospital I had a gas bubble in my shoulder after my emergency c section. What helps is a heating pad with gentle pressure and massage it out. If your breastfeeding it helps with the pain of engorgement too. Hope you feel better soon and congrats!
