There are several threads on this subject where a number of us have shared our experiences.

I didn't have my first BM until day 13. It was the worst 90 minutes of my life. I had to go take a nap afterwords. No joke.

You would be amazed at the constipation stories on here. Congrats! It's like we're toddlers again getting praised for pooping. Make Miralax your friend.
