I read this article and giggled. I always talk to doula clients, especially first time moms about the first poop and how nerve racking it is. I always recommend they go out and buy a stool softener so they don’t have to “push” because it makes one and all nervous the first time after after having a baby. Some like metamucil, but I like Colace. You can get this at safeway, shoppers or where ever you shop. I hope you can stay relaxed and let nature take its course, it’s nothing to worry about. 
Happy bathroom break!
