I had hemorrhoids a little bit while pregnant, but nothing happened during delivery and I was going pain free a week later. Now, at 3.5 weeks PP it feels like I am pooping glass. And I'm bleeding (and...

I would still continue the stool softeners if you don't want to do the laxative but I ended up having to take Phillips laxative and it helped a TON! I only went maybe twice that day so it wasn't like I...

I thought the stool softener helped me. They gave me some in the hospital and told me to take it as needed at home.

@highwire: aw I'm sorry. Hems sucks. Eat a lot of fiber. Apples are good and I like to throw some ground flax seed in my cereal or oatmeal for an extra boost of fiber. I think the stool softener helped...

Glycerin suppositories were helpful when I broke my back and had similar ossues. I've not found tucks or earth angel mama baby stuff to be very helpful. Six baths are nice too!

Ugh! I'm in the same boat. Started around 5 weeks pp and at 11 weeks its still going on (sometimes it feels like its worse). I've been taking Colace too, haven't done anything else. I hope it gets...

I took colace until like 4 weeks pp...I definitely think it helped. You can also try taking a probiotic which should help things move along more easily. Also, do you have a removeable shower head? You...

@highwire: did you ever find relief? I'm 3 weeks pp and having the same issues you did. "Pooping glass" is actually a mild way to put it -- this is worse than labor!

I was still bleeding after a bm at 10 weeks out! I would hate myself if I forgot to take stool softener! Sure as heck can't hurt to keep taking it. After about 10 weeks I stopped bleeding, but I stil...

I felt like I was pooping glass last night, and I think it was a combination of third trimester fun + slacking off on my Fiber One regiment. Also I haven't been on my feet much and even short walks...
