I just had a cesarean section a week and 2 days ago. today, i am constipated. can pushing out my poop harm me or my stitches?

Unlikely: You'll just have to work through the constipation. Stay well hydrated, and try Milk of Magnesium, as directed. Eat a balanced diet, and try to minimize your use of any narcotics you may have been given. Good luck.
