The first postpartum poop is notorious for a reason.

Keep gentle, stimulant-free relief on hand before you need it — not the day panic sets in.

Constipation is one of pregnancy and postpartum’s most common — and least discussed — realities. Stretched abdominal muscles, pain medication (opioids like those often prescribed after a C-section are known to cause it), an empty stomach after not eating during labor, and the very real fear of straining on tender, stitched, or surgical skin all make going harder. Many women feel it for three to six months after birth. Colace is a stimulant-free, over-the-counter stool softener — docusate sodium, 100 mg — that helps soften stool so it’s easier and less painful to pass. It’s the kind of thing worth having in the cabinet ahead of time.

As with any medication, check with your doctor before taking it — and reach out to your provider right away if constipation comes with constant pain, severe bloating, or vomiting.

Common questions

Why is constipation so common after birth?

Many women keep it on hand to start early — ask your doctor about timing for you.

Is Colace stimulant-free?
Yes. It softens stool without the cramping or urgency of a stimulant laxative.
