Help me poop, lol

[imimahoney]

Damn you, zofran!

Colace barely does anything. Milk of magnesia works but suckssssss. I need something that works but is gentle. 

Flax works I think. laurack you ate it during your pregnancy, right? 

How much? Specific brand? Maybe put in oatmeal? 

[katfco]

Lots of grapes? That's what works well in our house.

No advice but sorry you are dealing with that! Constipation is the suck.

[imimahoney]

I eat so much fruit already I'm going to turn into a damn produce section.

Girl I'm telling you get some miralax or Dulcolax!

Glycerin suppositories are no big deal and super easy. Way easier to handle than an enema

[Faevantastic]

Dried prunes worked for me!

[thedahliharpa]

Can pregnants drink smooth move tea?

[thedahliharpa]

Chipotle?

[shmoo]

I add about a tablespoon or a little more ground flaxseed to my oatmeal in the morning. I think it works well, but gently.

[sunshineluv]

Mirolax

I actually took a half dose every day while I was on zofran. Worked like a charm.

I compared at the store and dulcolax and Colace are the same! My ob didn't say anything about miralax but I'll ask tomorrow. I really really don't want todo suppositories. Ewwwww.

I don't know. I was doing some googling but didn't find anything. I know they say to stay away from a lot of herbs. It makes me nervous.

Hmm ok my mistake. Miralax is definitely different than colace, of that I'm certain.

Haha yes ewww but hey, when nothing else works...

I've been through enough surgeries and anesthesia/narcotic induced constipation that not much grosses me out anymore

Good luck!!

[spaghetticat]

I put flax in cookies, but oatmeal would probably be better! Start small. Good luck!

[Deleted]

I know! I've been making baked oatmeal every morning and put in a tablespoon of flax seed. Works like a charm! Look at The Oatmeal Artists website for yummy recipes. The peanut butter cookie one is so good!

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm so sorry . Zofran killed me!

[jsillyfun]

I made scones with prunes in them when I was pg

Some people cut off caffeine! I have been doing half caff. The cream makes me go.

Glad you pooped!

Zofran turned my butt inside out. It will remain that way forever, says the surgeon. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good luck with your butt, buddy!

[laurack]

I also put a tablespoon or two of flax in my oatmeal. I barely had to take colace this second pregnancy which was awesome!

I actually stopped taking zofran because of you! The constipation was almost as bad as the nausea. I remember posting about it and you said "the inside of your butt will become the outside of your butt." I believed you. 

[dixeedeluxe]

that definitely sounds like something i said!
