I know this is very awkward but I'm desperate. I haven't had a bowel movement in 4 days. I have tried drinking a bunch of water and fruit but nothing is working. I couldn't get a hold of my doctor today. Since it a the weekend they won't be back in the office until monday. I really need some advice to get things... moving again. I have such pains right now.
Re: I haven't pooped in 4 days...
Good luck
But I do recommend the prune juice and some prunes to get things moving.... Plus water. Within about 24 hours things should be moving again. I think colace is something good to take every day to keep things moving.

Coconut oil saved my butt (literally) last time in situations like this. Use it liberally. It feels funny when you start but human warmth or rubbing hands together melts it like butter. It will truly save you pain.

What I did last time I was pregnant was take Benefiber every day and it worked.
I swear by psyllium husks. They make me way more regular and make it easier to go. https://www.amazon.com/Yerba-Prima-Psyllium-Whole-12-Ounce/dp/B00013YYKS/ref=pd_sim_325_9?ie=UTF8&dpID=51COe2gTwfL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR91,160_&refRID=1A8F6C3YDQAB4G19HFSF
I drink a breakfast smoothie each day, and put a teaspoon to tablespoon in mine. I cannot taste them at all in the smoothie. Be sure to take a small amount to start and then build up to a larger amount, it says this on the bottle. I cannot imagine drinking it straight with water or OJ, but apparently some people do. A well blended smoothie is key for me. Good luck!!
Coffee. Specifically turkish coffee. A very small amount that tastes amazing and holy moly makes you poop. Good luck. I know its miserable!
