Stupid question, TMI and all that good stuff

[wanting4#1]

I should write a book with that as the title ... LOL!!

So, as I mentioned before, I am really suffering from constipation. With fibromyalgia, I have symptoms of IBS, anyway and the pregnancy is definitely aggravating them (NOT that I am complaining...no sireebob...not this chicka...bring on the pregnancy symptoms!!!)

(WARNING > TMI AHEAD>SHOULD YOU CONTINUE TO READ, AND ARE SUBSEQUENTLY DISGUSTED, YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME>YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!)

But after spending twenty minutes trying to push out a few pellets, I got to thinking....

(WARNING > STUPID QUESTION AHEAD>SHOULD YOU CONTINUE TO READ, AND ARE SUBSEQUENTLY SHOCKED OR DISMAYED AT OBSERVED STUPIDITY, YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME>YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!)

Can I do any harm to my little sprout by pushing so hard? I don't want to knock him/her out of a nice comfy position!!

If you are still reading, thank you for taking the time and indulging my idiocy! I truly, SINCERELY appreciate it1

LOL  OMG I laughed so hard I thought I was going to wet myself.    I take prenatal plus,  it has a stool softner in it to keep you from having those rabbit pellets for your stool.

I was that way before I found the prenatal plus.  I thought for sure I was going to start bleeding again and tear my uterus just trying to go.  


Have you tried eating rasin brain in the morning?  I snack on it through the day, mostly because I love the raisins right now.

Ha Ha Ha you are a basket case!!! Take it from one constipated lady to another NO you cannot hurt "sprout" by trying to push!!! I googled this forever when I was pregnant with Cooper!   Every medical sites say no, it is not possible because your bowels are no where near your baby!

Just try not to push to hard because you are going to get hemorrhoids. I was extremely constipated at the beginning of this pregnancy but since I started eating carrots on daily basis, I feel like I am actually kind of back to "normal".

Are you taking a prenatal with  a stool softener in it???? I am taking Prenexa and man that has helped big time! (by the way it is a Rx)  

I hope you get some relief soon because 9 months is a long time to have booty troubles!!!!
