And it is always good to warn, that the more days you go without doing the worse it will be, because the feces will become even more dry and make it even more difficult to get out, causing pain.
In the first days after giving birth it is always very complicated for women.

Staying in this situation brings in addition to abdominal discomfort, a lot of bad mood and irritability , and here between us this is a moment of total joy and it won’t be a coconut that will spoil, will it?

Foods rich in fiber and cereals also help in a powerful way in this situation, so following a healthy diet will make all the difference. Try to eat a variety of fruits throughout the day, preferably fibrous ones like apples, papayas, watermelons, pears and also orange juice. Yogurts, wholegrain breads, milk and cheeses will also help the intestine to function normally again and not require a lot of force when evacuating after giving birth.

Some maternity wards, before discharging the mother, usually offer a dose of tamarine along with pain medications. The medicine is a natural laxative that can be offered in capsule, gel or in the form of jelly which is the most used. Which will make the recent mom evacuate before she leaves for home. In addition to the difficulty of evacuating, some women may suffer with difficulty or even pain and discomfort to urinate, as the urethra usually becomes a little swollen and out of its normal after the baby has passed or even due to the effect of the morphine used in the cesarean section. . But do not be alarmed, as the urethra returns to normal within a few hours after delivery.
Postpartum Gases
Among the various postpartum discomforts are gases or, as it is also called, flatulence. It usually occurs in women who undergo cesarean deliveries, which during the procedure inevitably leave a small amount of blood inside the abdomen that hinders the normal functioning and movement of the intestine, leaving it lazy for a period and allowing the large accumulation of gases, that provide great discomfort. In the maternity unit you will be asked to avoid talking during childbirth and for a period afterwards, which also increase the accumulation of gases.
Try to walk as soon as you are authorized in the maternity ward, as it will help in the elimination of postpartum gases. Rest, proper rest and adequate food will make all the difference and help the body to return to its normal functioning and all discomfort quickly disappear. Some doctors already prescribe the use of medications for this purpose before discharge from the maternity hospital, but if not recommended, ask that he prescribe what is indicated for this phase and that it will not do any harm to the baby through breastfeeding.
