Thanks ladies. Tried the stool softer, vegetables, water and still couldn't go. Last night I ended up in the ER because I kept throwing up and started having contractions. Thank goodness I was able to go. I never want to go through that again. I wish there was something to help me be regular.

Colace is safe but I used apple juice I stayed hydrated and ate oatmeal fpr fiber. I had some issues w constipation but overall I havent had a big problem with it. Also dont force it hemmoroids are no fun I luckily have avoided them.

Nothing works for me! I eat my veggies and fruit and I drink at very least 1.5 gallons of water a day and I finally got a stool softener and it still hasn't helped yet...

Girl I've had constipation from the beginning!! Drink a ton of water and eat a lot of fruit, it will push it right through. And by a ton of water i mean an 8 ounce glass every hour until you go. That's a bout the size of a coffee cup
