I'm 36 weeks and I can't go to the bathroom for number 2. This is the third day I can't go. Sorry for rye coment but just when I fart something come out but is just a little bit. I drink a lots of water and I don't drink sodas or juice All I eat is healty food, no fast food and I try to cook all my foods. Do I should call my doctor or I should wait to see if I can go. This didn't happen before and I don't know if is normal or no. Thank you

I'm having this problem too. Even when I drink enough water. I turned 36 weeks yesterday. I figure it's just because of him being so low, now.

Good advice. Instead of prune juice I would go with prunes, the stool softner, water, and exercise.  Walking is great to get those bowels going.  Don't wait too long. The longer you wait,  the more pain you will be in.

Constipation is very normal during pregnancy. Try some warm prune juice,  that is a good place to start. Continue with lots of water. You can safely take colace,  which is a stool softener. Also if those don't work glycerin suppositories are a safe and effective way to move things along. Always check with your doctor though before any meds.
