If I were you, I'd go ahead and go to the hospital! I went 4 days without going during my last pregnancy and I was miserable but that's nothing compared to 4 weeks! Hope you get some relief soon!

I used colace for the bad times. Miralax didn't work, but go to the doctor maybe she/he can assist with getting it out. I know it's gross, but it will bring some relief

It's, I'm pretty sure, less likely to directly hurt your baby and more likely to hurt you and cause complications with pregnancy/labor that way.

Take it from someone who has had emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction (due to crohns disease) that nearly ruptured, you should *never ever* wait four weeks without a bowel movement to see a physician. It can become lethal. Not kidding, not scare tactics. I was, at that point in time, told live two to three weeks or have the surgery. I'm not saying you've gotten to that point, by any means. I'm just saying you don't want to get there. You probably shouldn't even risk waiting until tomorrow to go to the er.

Yes this could get very serious I wouldn't wait any longer. There are alot of complications involved if you really haven't gone in a month! Hope you get checked out
