Miralax / Enema?

Sorry for the TMI but I am wondering if anyone else has received OB advice on this issue.  I have tried collace and not much luck.  Is Miralax and/ or a saline enema safe?

    I did both 2 weeks ago. I've had better luck with colace and milk of magnesia though.

    I use both colace 2x a day and miralax daily. I still barely ever go potty but it's not terrible when i do. I'm also keeping very little food down and am on anti nausea meds that make the problem worse.

    I'm trying warm liquids (celestial seasonings blueberry tea) along with the colace.  I'll let y'all know how it goes.

    I haven't needed Miralax yet (fingers crossed!) but I took it during my pregnancy with DS. (Daily during 3rd tri!) My MW had it on her "safe" list and recommended it.

    Kiwi also helped me... and was oh-so-tasty!

    Yes ma'am-My OB has suggested I take 2-3 stool softeners daily and then Mag Citrate and Saline Enemas as needed. All safe. Good luck-neither constipation nor taking stuff is fun! It stinks.

    My doc recommended colace and eating pears. I did not go for 2 days in a row and I was beside myself over it and that is when I got the recommendation.   I am not big on taking meds so I have been eating pears ever since. I have not tried the colace, but 2 pears a day starting with 1 as my first meal has been keeping things very regular.  I have always taken a probiotic too and they approved that. I assume it continues to help, but I swear by pears.
