Good morning. i've been constipated ever since i gave birth, which was 29 jan 2019. is this normal?

Constipation ?: Constipation after delivery may be due to chronic dehydration (lack of sufficient fluid intake, expecially if nursing your infant). Ask your OB physician about his/her preference for probiotics, and mild medications for constipation. Drink two liters of water a day, which should also help !
