constipated

How do you help yourself poop? I feel like I'm trying to poop a softball and I and so uncomfortable!

Broccoli and prunes in excess

You can get it from Walmart, Walgreens, CVS etc...

I have IBS, general pregnancy constipation and constipation as a side effect from the medication I am on for my Hyperemesis. I'm 38 weeks and this has been an issue my entire pregnancy. I've tried it ALL and nothing worked. I was even rushed to the hospital after not being able to go for 14 DAYS!!! Per the doctor and my home care nurse, I have to give myself an enema every 3 days and that's been Heaven sent. It's a Fleet Saline Enema and it's safe! That the brand they use for pregnant women in the hospital and it works IMMEDIATELY!!!

Coffee always does the trick for me :-)

Prunes and water. Only thing with prunes that I noticed is that it's going to take at least 10 to effectively work.

Ugh!!! The joys of pregnancy :/ I am not a coffee drinker, so when I get constipated I drink coffee and it usually does the trick. Also, watch what you're eating. Don't want to be eating too much cheese...that doesn't help in this situation

It's back and forth, some days I feel this way and other days I have no problems whatsoever.  I'm going crazy lol

Prune juice, lots of water and Miralax is safe. Also can do hot/warm apple juice

[mommys2b6]

Oh my dear I was there and felt your pain. Call your doc tomorrow, I was able to use miralax and a stool softener to do the trick. Have you be backed up for long?!
