Postpartum question about bowel movements-TMI I know

So today is one week since I had DD and as the week has gone one, I have noticed more and more bowel movements. Today I made four of them and they are not like the runs, they are real solid movements (sorry).

Anybody notice this after giving birth?

This may sound odd but I was looking at myself in the mirror today and I think I may be thinner than when I got pregnant. My mom said I definitely look thinner than I was when I was 6 weeks pg.

Weird stuff.

Gee 27 views and no one has anything to say?

I guess people were just curious to hear about my bowel movements

I will say that mine were more solid but not frequent the Dr had me on stool softener in the hospital right after the baby and had me continue it at home.

I had the opposite happen so I can't help you there. But hey, as long as you are eating ok, who can complain about being thinner than pre pregnancy, lol.

I can't help either. I was constipated when I came home and had to keep eating my Fiber Choice pills to help me go for a few weeks more.

sorry for the TMI but, for me my bowel movements were really "loose" my muscles weren't yet "firm" so i had to be careful not to have accidents. are you breastfeeding? cause i have and i lost a lot of the weight and people say i am even smaller then before i got pg.
