This is kinda a horrible question so please be aware...

hey guys im 32w preg with my 3rd baby for the past few weeks i have been suffering from constapation which i know is normal at this stuff but its got soooo bad. The worst was yesterday i started having contractions (braxton hicks) real badly so i went to toilet in case i ended up peeing as my bladder isnt teh strongest now to find a i really needed to do poos but i just couldnt it felt like the baby was being pushed out or like my bum was turning inside out HORRIBLE and im sorry for sharing,
but after that i had some come out and my bum poured oit with blood man it hurt like crazy i then got dizzy almost passed out and got hot flushes...
i have tried warm water also tried helping it come out and nothing works... has any one got any suggestions i know ll be ok for the next day or so but its gunna happen again and i just cant do that again..
midwife has said tehres nuffin she can do to help and suggested what i had already done but it doesnt work...
id be willing to try anything i dont wanna go through that again

I have been taking fiber daily, and for a long time, was also  taking prenatals with with colace in them for a while. I did have to resort to some miralax a few times (glycol 3350, I think?) to get things going when needed. Good luck!

I had the exact same issue. Go to the hospital because when I had it my Dr sent me.to the hospital so they could pull it out. What had happened was I got constipated and a hemrroid and the poop had balled up as big as a tennis ball. They said had I.not come.in when I did it could have.completely ripped my rectum on the inside which would have resulted.in surgery. Please don't wait! I'm not saying its that or that its that bad but don't chance it. After they fix it eat lots of green vegetables and prune.juice and prunes and apple sauce and apple juice and whatever else you can think of to.make you poop and steer clear of things that can constipate you

You can take Colace.  I had the same problem with 3 of my pregnancies.  The last one I had to take it daily.  Colace is over the counter and helps.  You can also take metamucil.

I used an enema with my first and it helps soo much! They aren't that much at Walmart, comes In a pack of 1 or 2 and you can do it yourself. It's instant relief

Hey im suffering just has bad as u. The bleeding and everything. Its horrible its so painful :-(. I tried suppositories but it barely helped. Stool softners will not help u go but it will make the stool softer when u can go which will help with the bleeding. Fiber 1 bars and activia yogurt help but not when ur the constipated. Your going to have to try an enema or suppositories and once u go a good amount than start eating avtivia and more fiber everyday.

An emana is when they squirt oily almost like lubricated up your bum and it makes you go almost instantly. I've had one and it helps A TON! I had the same stuff go on with my first you're literally ripping your butthole.. Goodluck and I hope you get relief!!

I tried one kind of prune juice and didn't help me, but someone told me that it has to be 100% prune juice? Maybe that helps... drink lots of water, it helps me a bit, avoiding chocalate and all the foods that just make it worse, eating 5 small meals, lots of fiber... that's all I know...

If its really bad you may have to resort to having an enema to completely flush it out.

U can take a stool softner. I take 1 a day but my ob said I could take up to 3 if I need to. So far 1 has helped me. Prenatals will make u sooooo constipated. Get a stool softner, u will be so glad u did :)
