Havnt pooped in 4 weeks!

Help!! I'm in so much ungodly pain from not being able to pass a Bm in about four weeks!! Is there anything at all I can take!! I see a midwife so she just says "greens and water" but I feel after four weeks of excrement backing up down there, there's no way for those things to help me now. With my last pregnancy I had to have my bowels and intestines flushed but it was so painful and it stimulated contractions and I almost lost the baby. Can anyone please help??

You poor thing!  I've used Colace and it's certainly helped, my Dr said it was fine.  I've heard prune juice is super helpful too.  I hope things get better for you!

I was like this in the beginning.  I drank water ate fiber walked and nothing.  I bought a small fleet enema and a laxative.  I felt like a new person after

Try dejuicing fruits and vegetables in a dejuicer and drink it once a day that will help with the constipation
