i cant poop!

[algaga]

Im 7 weeks and for the past 4 days i have not pooped, and i feel like ots playing a big role in why i feel like blahhhh. Ive been eating fiber so i don't know why.. what can i do to not be constipated

[kelliebeanz]

My drs said i could take colace stool softener OR milk of magnesia. I would suggest the milk of mag i took it with a lot of water like youre supposed to i actually had to a few days ago and it had started working by that night (slightly) and by the next day i was finally going no problem. Works like a charm and doesn't give any stomach cramps....just don't make any plans that will keep you away from a bathroom for a long time not that you will get diarrhea but you will be going quite a bit. Also consider adding metamucil (sp?) Daily for some extra fiber because you don't realize how much you take pooping for granted till you can't! Lol

Actually coffee is what both my obgyn and my pcp told me to drink when i had this problem and it worked if u are worrird try decaf and there is no need to be rude when someone is trying to help @ Alkhall
Also you might ask ur obgyn about colace it is an otc stool softener

If you go five days you need to go to the doctors because you can become septic.

Have you been drinking lots of water? I had that same problem early on in my pregnancy
