Question, may be tmi

[Chrissyh81]

Has anyone had constipation so bad when you finally went, you bled because it was so hard? Now I'm super sore and when I wipe or pee, it hurts on my butt.

I have a doctor appointment on Monday so I will talk with her when I go in. :(

Thanks everyone.... The doctor said to get Senekot. It's an all natural laxative. It has helped. I'm not a 100% but definitely getting there.

There is also a prescription cream that you can be given for hemorrhoids.  I had hemorrhoids so bad once that I had to have surgery.  I was like 37 weeks pregnant.  

Keep drinking the water.  Eat lots of fruits/veggies and take a stool softener if you need to.  The less you strain, the better.

Good luck!  Oh, the joys of pregnancy :)

Prune juice, colace (stool softener), walking, water, fiber (definitely keep up with water when taking fiber, as too little water will increase constipation more). If it's been several days you can use glycerin suppositories and that'll get you moving right away. For hemorrhoids, which are also another wonderful side effect of pregnancy, try witch hazel pads or Tucks medicated pads. Talk when you dr before using Miralax- it's a pregnancy category C,  and not all providers like using it.

Hey yes had that problem leave some wet flushable wipes near ur toilet this will help you not hurt urelsf more and I eat a fiber plus bar and a glass of simply made apple juice every night. Also drink asuch water as you can if the problem still persists your doctor can perscribe you some pregnancy safe stool softener
