[HotMomOfAlmost3]

Ok. I can't have a bowel movement. When I can, which is only about every 3 days or more, it hurts so much I cry, sweat, can barely breathe, and when I am done I can barely walk!!! Is there anything I can do to help this? I know this is a GROSS subject but I am absolutley miserable and its sunday so my doctors office is closed!! PLEASE help!!

apples are also good.  basically just increase your fiber and water intake.

Increase the fruit everyday I eat fruit and have yet to be constipated...I also agreed with the prunes suggestion

Try an orange a day as well, worked wonders for me, i had the same problem it was horrible!

look it up online because i think places that the vitamin store sell it.  i know that in my area they do and you can order some online for if it happens again in the future.  i worked great for me and i had the same hting you did, all the new pregnancy hormones bond me all right up.

yeah not even otc laxatives have helped me!! where do you get it from? like what section of the store? i am willing to try anything now lol

[leighanne143]

for future issues try prince of peace dieters tea.  its all natural and even caffeine free.  when i first got pregnant i experienced what you described above.  it was horrible.  i tried prunes and everything and nothing worked.  I drank one cup of this tea and it was great,  i went to the bathroom within 2 hours of drinking it.  my friends mother gave it to me when she heard i was constipated.

try it if you find it in one of your local stores.  and best of all its yummy.  tastes like regular black tea

Thank you!!!

Yeah it works pretty quick =) It is really supposed to help you stay regular with all of the extra fiber =) Yogurt works pretty much as soon as it hits your stomach just like the prune juice would =)

[HotMomOfAlmost3]

OMG thank you both sooo much!! I am so miserable and I just hope this works!! does the metamucil or however you spell it work right away?

[nickieb85]

Def try the prunes but you can also take metamucil to help on a daily basis. Also I found that yogurt works really well also and make sure that you drink lots of water! Hope you feel better soon!

I had that same prob. My doc recommended prunes or prune juice and it worked.
