It looks like a drug scene on my desk- SWEET RELIEF!

[zarapipe]

Because my miralax powder is everywhere!!!!

I just need a BM! I took Zofran on Thursday with a stomach bug and nothing since. I need to go!!!!!!

ETA- SWEET RELIEF!!! YAY!

[anaps28]

Hot water with lemon STAT!

*ETA I had the stomach thing too and I took immodium bc I had to leave the house for a doc appointment and didn't think I could make it. I didn't go for 5 days after that. So I feel your pain

That's the worst!! I hope it kicks in soon.

Try drinking chocolate milk. It generally (80% of the time) works for me. Something to do with the sugar and the lactose I think.

Ugh, I did that the other day in my kitchen. That stuff is so messy if you spill it!

LOL. Maybe if you snort it, it will work better?

Colace! I seriously have to take it daily, or I'm in hell. I have a bottle of 400 from Costco, and it was the best investment of my pregnancy so far.

None of the food/drink tricks ever work for me.

Roasted sweet potatoes are a sure thing for me. But if you've been without a BM for this long, that may not help things right away - just afterwards. Try sitting on the toilet with your knees elevated (a foot stool works well), and just try to relax all your muscles and (this sounds weird, but it works), let your jaw/throat hang open, and take long, slow deep breaths. It has to do with the 'law of sphincters' that Ina May Gaskin talks about. It's especially good for going poop.

Hope you get relief soon!

Hot lemon water is suppose to help? I drink it every morning & nothing happens. Lol

It's supposed to get things moving...maybe try it at night?

Pregnancy poo is no laughing matter! Glad you got some relief!

[picksthemusic]

Yay for a good poop!

I swear, in pregnancy there is no greater thing (other than baby itself) than a good poop.
