Try prune juice & get some Xlax its safe just a spoonful in juice or water that's what my Dr. Told me my iron pills backed me up bad
Mirlax....its a powder that u cannot taste. .u put it in tea water or juice NOT soda...you can buy it at Walmart Walgreens rite Aid any place like that...I use it and every time I poop within an hour and it's normal it doesn't give u diarrhea like some medicines do
Bananas. Uptake on fiber gummies. And def more waterrrrrr. Gl
I take a fiber supplement everyday due to diverticulitis and it helps!
Prune juice asap! Then drink it everyday. You can mix it with apple juice.
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
Try fleet!! I had to use it after I had my daughter and it worked almost instantly..goodluck
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
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.
Peppermint tea was the recommendations from my maternity hospital x
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.
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.
Sorry meant miralax & prune juice
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
Try dejuicing fruits and vegetables in a dejuicer and drink it once a day that will help with the constipation
Even pineapple juice helps as well
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
Fiber and stool softner is working for me plus lots of water.
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
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 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.
Drink one tablespoon of olive oil. You should go in about 15 minutes.
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
