Is it very painful when pee right after delivery? What about if I need to poop? I will be going for natural delivery.

I delivered naturally and was not on a catheter. The first time I peed after delivery, it stung a little due to the stitches. It was bloody as well due to lochia, but nothing unbearable. Usually, one of the symptoms of labour is diarrhoea, so you are likely not to poop until a few days after delivery. It won't be as painful as you think it will be. If you are afraid, load up on more fibre so it'll be easier to poop. I didn't rely on any painkillers or stool softeners.
