Constipation at 35 weeks

[Leyisel21]

Ok so ive been constipated today alot! And i finally went just a lil bit ago sorry tmi. But im also feeling lost of pressure infront and like pinchings on vaginal area or like an itching... I dnt even know how to explain it. Is this a sign of something? Or im just making every detail a sign of labor? Haha

i dnt know if to try to push out or just not go to the bathroom for a couple of days...whats worst?  lol seriously i want my body back!!!

so my aunt told me today to stock up on the stool softeners. She says post labor we will have a hard time controlling the muscles "down there" and we could end up with bad case of hemorrhoids.

the tings/twitches could be the baby's pressure and also the straining of trying to go...

i tried stool softeners and nothing. its so bad...thanks

hey girl the best thing you can do at this point is drink as much water as you can force yourself to drink...and stool softeners are considered safe, but check with the pharmacist when you go to buy one and they'll tell you which are the best for pregnant women - it will help you avoid hemmerhoids as well, which is good lol.

I know! It's no fun!! I try to eat more fruit and salad, but it doesn't seem to help much. Just think, we are SO close!! :)  I see my midwife next monday, hoping things will start happening next week.

[Leyisel21]

Oh gosh!!! Chantal this is sooooo freaking bad. I have an apt tomorrow i have so many questions for him.... Aghhhh

[chantal21]

I'm just about the same way. One day constipation, then the next okay. I also get the pinching and pressure on my cervix. I think as we get closer, we are going to experience so many different things. Our bodies are preparing!!
