what to do with constipation

Does anyone here has a hard time making a bowel movement? I don't know if this is normal or what but i haven't had any for about 5 days? Should i be concernd or what should i do?  Since i'm only eatting bread for the couple of days.  Please ladies let me know is any of you have gone through this?

YES!! My midwife told me to take 2 collace a day that still doesnt work, by day 3 IM SICK!!!  She also told me warm prune juice, and apple juice, but nothing working!!!

My doctor told me to take Milk of Magnesia.  I took two tablespoons at night the first night and then two the next day and it helped.  It doesnt matter when you take it, just what ever works with your schedule.  Take it atleast twice and it will help.  I was on day 5 and desperate also.  Take it everyday and your problem should go away.

I've been eating 5 prunes per day and that seems to be helping me.

I took collace with my first and that seemed to help

I've been eating prunes also and that seems to help some and lots of fiber and water.  Sometimes I just don't think anything helps.  I didn't have this problem with my son but with this one I have.  Maybe you'll get some relief!
