Constipation

[Decbabyontheway]

What are you ladies taking/doing for bowl movement? I feel like nothing is helping me. Iv done "smooth move" tea...fiber cereal...chia seeds...prune juice and still every little movement ):

I keep a step stool inches away from the toilet and then place my feet on them whenever I have to go or feel like I may need too. It helps me a lot. Even when it feels like I can't go, I still sit there with my legs up and eventually I do.

My doctor gave me a stool softener when they gave me the iron and prenatal pills. But since I refuse to drink all those pills I never needed it. I've heard the iron pills cause constipation

Your doc should definitely be able to prescribe a stool softener OR you can actually buy dulcolax over the counter but may want to consult with ur doc first.

Coffee used to help lol...Iv always had this problem but now I'm pregnant it's gotten worse...iv tried milk of magnesia but I just don't like how it comes out..I wonder if my doc can prescribe Somthing?

If none of these other siggestions work for you either, I highly recommend consulting with your doctor about prescribing a stool softener like dulcolax.
