Ask ur OB b4 taking any stool softener ...
Thanks guys and the same thing happened to me(LindseyLeigh) I hate prunes soo much so im hoping to not have to eat those but I will try have all of these ideas!! Thanks so much!! I do have the equate brand stool softener. Thanks again!
Apples or apple juice make help too. Sorry babe.
Yes. I started a stool softner and feel soooo much better. I am 20 weeks today and about a month ago, it hurt so bad to go to the bathroom, I would bleed alot after pooping (sorry, I know its gross) and would almost be in tears but with a stool softner it helps so much. Try it before it gets worse. Just dont get a stool softner with a laxative...thats not good. Good luck.
I find that plums/prunes work great..:)
Try eating a lot of oranges or drinking 100% orange juice.
