TMI Constipation

[Brie]

Miralax.

Colace did nothing for me.

Grapes, dried apricots, prunes, and a TON of water.

Sometimes alternating sips of a hot liquid and a very cold liquid shocks the system for me. I used to do this at work when I didn't have access to anything else. I would drink hot tea and ice water. It almost always worked...sometimes faster than I was prepared to handle!

Good luck.

ugh, I can imagine how awful you must feel. I really hope some of these suggestions give you some relief.

Ditto Miralax

Magnesium citrate if miralax doesn't work, but plan on not being able to go far from a restroom for a while.

I've taken this before after painkillers had me stopped up. It should do the trick.

Kashi bars, hummus, McDonald's, coffee

anything with flax seeds in it. They make those sandwich thins with it, or kashi almond flax bars.

Call the OB. I took a stool softener everyday starting midway through my pregnancy. There is no reason to suffer.

If you want to keep trying naturally start with GROUND flax (put it in oatmeal) and tons of water.

Lots of walking is good too
I'd be starting to think if calling the Dr soon though

I had a green smoothie every day for a while and that helped. I also started with benefiber about halfway through, fiber one etc wasn't enough.

[oukapu]

I started upping my fiber and taking fiber pills.

Ugh, that has to be one of the worst aspects of pregnancy for sure.

Things that helped me: drinking a ton of water, exercising, eating foods naturally high in fiber, and taking a stool softener every day.

Good luck!

Apple juice might help too

Miralax. Then take fiber regularly.

Coffee got me going too.

Good luck. That is one of the worst pregnancy symptoms.
