Title Says It All....  I Can't Go :( Been Drinking Lots Of Water And Walking Every Day Almost 2 Miles. Got Any Suggestions?

My doctor recommended Miralax which is a gentle stool softener.  I was pretty uncomfortable and very constipated...the Miralax helps sooooo much!  Feel better:-)

I am going through the same thing and read about the chocolate milk too. I made a big glass with lots of the mix and it fixed my problem..and tasted great lol

I've read a post recently where a woman swore by chocolate milk made with the powdered Nesquik. She thought it wouldn't help but wound up moving like a speeding train after. That's my plan of action when I get there. Also ask your doctor about stool softeners. That helped with my first child.

I've been extremely constipated this round. I have took ducolax 2x, it definitely helps you go but it gave me the worst stomach cramps ever. I'd say try eating raisin bran cereal and try colace that's what I'm turning too! Good luck!

I think you should ask your dr about laxatives and stool softeners first. That shouldn't be your go-to even when you're not pregnant. But ask anyways. I drink a glass of prune juice everyday and when it get bad, fiber supplements.

My dr said milk of magnesia, its super disgusting but it worked!

Warm prune juice, colace (stool softener), dulcolax (mild laxative), miralax, I've also ready chocolate milk. Good luck. I had that problem around week 14 and colace and dulcolax finally got me going again. Plus drinking lots of water and walking.

Thanks All. Ya I Don't Do Bananas Lol... Everything About Them Pretty Much makes Me Gag. I've Tried Prunes And Didn't Help But May Try The Apple Juice And Stool Softeners.

You can try dry pitted prunes. I try n take a few each day to prevent me from becoming constipated. Eat like 5 to get u to go soon then eat like a few each day. That helped me.

my doctor told me to take a stool softener with my prenatal, it has helped me tremendously though this whole pregnancy

Warm apple juice works for me.  I've always been told banana s too,  but I can't eat those.
