pooping issues? tmi

I am getting so frustrated!! a lot of pressure down in my butt area from baby and that makes me constipated BAD. I had sum small hemmrhoids but tonight I think I killed my butt! I felt like I had to go I regret it. It would only come so far and it would budge anymore. I had to manually help myself go because it wouldn't come out and I couldn't stand up!! Now I have a huge hemmrhoid ( it doesn't hurt that bad) but I feel a lot of pressure when I walk. What do I do. I've talked to my Dr she wouldn't give me anything. I've tried eating more fiber but not much luck obviously. Help!!!!

Try a small cup of coffee (decaf will work if you prefer). I had the exact same problem minus the hemorrhoids, I was in sooo much pain. But I drank a cup of coffee and about 20-30min later I was rushing to the bathroom!

Water, exercise and fiber bars !! Its all that works for me I have hemorrhoids too because I end up not going for 3 days if I don't eat fiber bars. They are way easy, just make sure to keep eating one (or two sometimes, if they are a weaker brand and you really wanna make sure you can go) every day! I have had serious problems if I don't- hortible cutting feeling when I go, and lots of blood!

Girl this same exact thing happened to me the other day. I drank some Metamucil and it seemed to help some. But like others said lots of water.
