Anyone else having constipation issues? I'm not even 5 weeks along and it's an issue. The only time in my life that I've had a problem with this was after I had knee surgery because I was taking oxycodone, and then I was able to take a laxative.
I'm assuming laxatives are a no-no now.
What have you done for constipation relief?
8 months of this is going to drive me nuts!
Re: C is for Constipation!
I took Colace from the 3rd tri to PP with DD.
A cup of coffee every morning keeps me regular and I opt for high fiber foods.
Since I started taking Zofran about a week and a half ago, I've been very constipated. After no BM for 6 or 7 days, I called a nurse yesterday. She told me....
- Immediate relief (in one day): milk of magnesia
- Relief after that: stool softener, warm bath
- All the time: lots of liquids, prune juice (I mix it with grape juice), lots of high fiber foods esp. fruits and veggies
I also put Benefiber in my morning tea, but I usually never get to finish my tea in the morning before work gets hectic....so I don't think it's done anything
