Call your doctor and get specific stuff they recommend ever doctor is different. I am 35 weeks tomorrow and have been extremely constipated my whole pregnancy! I was crying and miserable and finally called my doctor. She had said I could use coach but before you use that start with Miralax it will break it up and soften it once your stools are regular then take colace. She also told me to use a fleet enema because I hadn't went for 2.5 weeks! I am also in school for nursing and have been looking this stuff up and talking to my teachers and they say this is good but consult your doctor to.
They say with an enema you shouldn't take it in your 3rd trimester because it could jump start contractions just as a heads up I'm not sure how far you are. I did my enema in my 2nd trimester with no problems hope I was any help!
I was 10 weeks Friday 2 days ago but i took colace. I'm just so miserable!
I was the same way. Co lace won't kick in and actually start working for a couple days. I would call an on call nurse and see if a fleet enema would be okay to use. Literally within 10 minutes you will be able to go! But I would call before getting one I wouldn't want to be the reason something happened to that baby or doc getting mad
I'm going to try to just relax or maybe do some streaches
Warm prune juice if you can handle the taste! It should help with in the hour!
You should also up your water intake. That will also help with constipation. Will help move things along.
My doctor prescribed me something for constipation. So talk to your doctor, I'm sure they'd be glad to help.
I take miralax i drink it every two days and i have normal movements now its deff a life saver.. i use to be consitipated for days and i never hav felt bettr til taking it :)
U got a book from my doctor saying what different medicines you should take according to what you have and for constipation it says Benefiber Fiber Laxitive, of Lactulose, Colace, and stool sostener (docusate) hope this helps and i hope you feel better
