Havnt pooped in 4 weeks!
Help!! I'm in so much ungodly pain from not being able to pass a Bm in about four weeks!! Is there anything at all I can take!! I see a midwife so she just says "greens and water" but I feel after four weeks of excrement backing up down there, there's no way for those things to help me now. With my last pregnancy I had to have my bowels and intestines flushed but it was so painful and it stimulated contractions and I almost lost the baby. Can anyone please help??
Miralax WILL do the trick... I had the same issue and even had to go to the hospital. ..enemas, several suppositories, and Colace didn't work BUT the Dr recommended Miralax and I mixed it with cranberry juice....In no time it worked. I drink it every other day to make sure I don't have those issues anymore... good luck!
Miralax
8oz of 100% apple juice twice a day until you go. It works for me every time.
I ended up at the hospital once for this like 2 months ago. They gave me a suppository and it worked for me. Good luck
Drink one tablespoon of olive oil. You should go in about 15 minutes.
I would call an actual doctor that's like a month of not going, thats alot of food not coming out. I think they would have to do some sort of excavating procedure. Or at least ask them about an enema.
You poor thing! I've used Colace and it's certainly helped, my Dr said it was fine. I've heard prune juice is super helpful too. I hope things get better for you!
I was like this in the beginning. I drank water ate fiber walked and nothing. I bought a small fleet enema and a laxative. I felt like a new person after
Fiber and stool softner is working for me plus lots of water.
Oh my poor thing so sorry u have to go thru that....I can't go for 3 days and I'm freaking out....I only take my prenatals a couple times a week BC I get so constipated....but when I feel like that I drink apple juice and it makes a huge difference I can go within a couple of hours of drink it....hope u can find something to help
Even pineapple juice helps as well
Try dejuicing fruits and vegetables in a dejuicer and drink it once a day that will help with the constipation
The Fleet water enemas helped me a couple times. And I get severely constipated even when I'm not pregnant. Fiber only helped me a little. But I just discovered that mini wheats cereal does a nice job helping me along! Strange cuz I've tried everything. Colace and Miralax only helped me when I wasn't pregnant. Also if you're taking iron try taking ferrous gluconate instead of the typical ferrous sulfate. My nurse practitioner suggested this and it did miracles! It's hard to find, I got mine from a natural store that sells alot of herbs. But it's way better than regular iron

Sorry meant miralax & prune juice
Ladies thank you so much for your advice!!! I went and got the Fleet liquid glycerine suppositories and some pericolace stool softeners and had a Bm not even five minutes after the supository!!! I feel so much better I cried a little lol.
At this point NO MORE FIBER supplements its juat going to make it worse. I would try prub e juice with some miralax and see if it works if not I would be going to a Dr. Because clearly your midwife does not have a remedy you should not go longer then a week with know movement. I am very surprised the midwife didnt have any other suggestions.
Peppermint tea was the recommendations from my maternity hospital x
Fiber and lots of water! Bananas, greens, phsyllium husk mixed with orange juice, prunes, and even activia yogurt helps me. And i cant stress enough about the water intake.
Drink 2 cups of prune juice once and wait few hours and drink more it is going to help u soooo much i had the same problem and it helped me sooo much .try it asap
Try fleet!! I had to use it after I had my daughter and it worked almost instantly..goodluck
milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate, glycerin suppository, water enemas (no mineral oil), colace stool softener, prune juice, white grape juice...we're all suggested and ok'd by my doctor after two weeks without a bowel movement. I can't imagine the pain you're in! Also, it still took about five days for everything to work on me...did two enemas, three rounds of mag citrate, 500 mg of colace a day, milk of magnesia three times a day, and glycerin suppositories every day
Prune juice asap! Then drink it everyday. You can mix it with apple juice.
I take a fiber supplement everyday due to diverticulitis and it helps!
