Red Oval Gel Pill For Constipation

I'm looking for a red pill about the size of a Sudafed pill for constipation. I was given this pill when my first child was born to have a bowel movement after the nurse put me through other painful procedures, I'm expecting my 2nd child in May & I refuse to do those procedures again & would like to know what that pill is & how to get it. Thank you.

It was most likely just a stool softener, they are commonly given to women after birth, because after labor, many women don't pass stool for a few days, and when they finally do, it can be very hard, so a softener makes it easier.

Many of them can be purchased over the counter in most drug stores, and pharmacies, but they may not want you take them, while in the hospital.

What procedures did she try?
