constipation.. maybe tmi

I have horrible constipation... I do everything that's suggested and I've been taking Colace but i don't want to take it too much if it's going to cause harm... Should i take it every day or just a few days here and there? It's awful, my stools are hard little balls; very bizarre and uncomfortable and nothing seems to help. Is it just something I'm going to have to live with until i give birth?

I've been right there with you. It's horrible. I take 2 colace daily. It is completely safe.

You can get an over the counter stool softener and take one daily and it helps, you still might have a hard stool every once in a while but it's not every time and is gentle on you so no bad cramps.
