constipation

I'm 35 weeks & really constipated & so uncomfortable. Is there any safe over the counter stuff I can take that your doctor's approved of??

I agree with Ashleigh, coffee helps me. I was doing enemas almost every other day. I finally resulted into taking a small amount of castor oil. Due in less than a week so if it assisted with starting labor i sad fine. I tthrew it all up but had a clean system that lasted two days. Back to trying coffee because castor oil experience wasn't a good one.

My doctor made me do an Emma twice during the pregnancy and i am 35 weeks.  I also take colace once a day to keep me from getting constipated

Drink hot milk before going to sleep. This has helped me a lot. 1 glass hot milk every nite before going to bed. Try out

I drink a little bit of coffee and that helps shortly after. I'm not much of a coffee person but it really helps.
