Going to the bathroom

[April31287]

Since I found out I am pregnant, I haven't been able to poop without taking a laxative (usually ducolax). I've tried stool softeners, more water, fiber rich foods, basically everything the Dr recommends. I still can't go on my own. It gets to the point to where i'm not even hungry because my bowels are so full. Any suggestions? I am in desperate need of some relief without the stimulant effects.(cramping)

Try benefiber. It's a powder form of fiber that you dissolve in water. It has no flavor and will dissolve completely. It was the only thing that worked for me.

I've been there girl! And the only thing that makes me go potty is driking a glass of prunes juice. It tastes nasty to me but it def works!! And try to drink lots of water. Hope this help.
