1st Trimester

Warning TMI

I almost died I know that they are two seperate openings but how am I going to give birth if I can't poop? I literally had to go so bad I sat there for almost an hr til I finally went. My god this  constipation stinks no pun intened. It literally felt like I was going to die. I must have been straining hard or something cause by the time I actually went I was having hot/cold flashes. Ugh 

ETA: I tried prune juice etc but nothing is working Embarrassed

Re: Warning TMI

  • I suggest getting some Colace.  It is over the counter and will help with the constipation.  Good luck.  Sorry you are in pain.
  • I felt the same way about a week ago.  Now I take colace each night with my PNV and supplements.

  • Eating actual prunes might be better than prune juice too. Look for ways to add fiber to your food.

  • I got some colace, the doctor told me to take it every day. It doesnt help all that much but it does help a little. Be careful with the straining after i had some spotting the doctor told me that straining while pooping can cause spotting

  • get a stool softener - colace is one, though a generic is so much cheaper. doesn't work right away - will be frustrating. also, if you've been eating a lot of bread/other carbs, you might want to add more veggies and fruits to your diet.?

    so sorry to hear of your pain! :(?

  • is there a food that always makes you go? Chinease or mexican?  Chili does it for me.
  • Activia and coffee helped me. You can also ask your doctor if there's another prenatal you can try because some have stool softeners in them. A vitamin without iron, and then an iron supplement is easier to digest and helps some women.

    Good luck! It got a lot better for me in 2nd tri.

  • I thought I would NEVER get off the pot after a Fiber One bar and frosted mini wheats for breakfast and snack.

    Hope it gets better for you!
