sort of at a loss....

Ok...embarrassing but I know many of you are going through the same thing. I am SO unable to use the bathroom normally.  I'm bloated...and I feel weighed down. I have tried fiber supplements, dietary changes (I.e. greens, etc) and finally Miralax. Nothing has worked. I HATE my prenatals...they make it infinitely worse. Ugh! Frustrating! Hey, at least the nausea has mostly subsided, right?

Try colace, when I switched my prenatals I was constipated and the doctor told me to take colace and it made me go to the bathroom

If you think you prenatals are contributing to your symptoms you could try the gummy prenatals you take two a day and they taste like candy which makes it better and they made my symptoms lessen

My dr also recommended Colace. Ive had to take it a few times during pregnancy and it really helped.

Try Colace, it is also the stool softener most hospitals give women after delivery. It works wonders!
