You have to hydrate, regularly take stool softener. Indeed it is hard. It took me pretty long to poo and it was draining my energy out, painful and I don't push hard. If I can't it means I can't.

Faxing the same issue! I pushed too hard and my tummy became quite sore (c sect). Best to keep eating fruits/veggies and stool softener. Very scary!
