Is it normal to feel this way after using a laxative?

okay so I took a laxative 12 hours ago and all of the effects are basically over. I have had many bowel movements and the cramping and awfulness is completely over. I was touching my belly and massing around and I noticed that my belly has pain in many areas. Is this normal? Is it because there is still poo left? Or is it because my intestines and colon are just tired?
