Bowel movemnets

A new mother may not have a bowel movement for several days after giving birth.
Most do, but it is not unusual not to have one until the third or fourth day postpartum.

Constipation is common and many factors in the immediate postpartum period feed this monster (bedrest, inactivity, medication, fluid restrictions, iron supplements). If you have had problems with constipation, discuss the use of laxatives with your doctor.
