a little worried (tmi)

[jne1233]

I was recently extremely constipated and compacted (sorry TMI) I did so much straining I'm worried abt my baby. I'm 7 weeks if that helps. My behind is really sore and idk what to do

Oh. Try not to strain too much. It can cause hemorrhoids, which aren't fun at all.

Eat prunes. When I get stopped up, I eat 7-14 prunes and I go to the bathroom with no problem. Also, drink plenty of water and exercise.

Awe I know how you feel...in the beginning of my pregnancy I was severely consipated. I was straining so bad my butt bleed some. My doctor told me it waS safe to use suppositories and enamas. For a few days my butt was so sore :/ I took warm baths and took it easy and then I was fine. Also eat more foods with fiber in it to help your bowels. But my baby was ok after straining like I did but if your really worried I'd call your doctor and get them to check. Hope everything works out
