No Longer Blocked Up...

This is a little TMI but I have to imagine that I am not the only one that has been BLOCKED up ever since getting pregnant. I have never had this issue really in my life and it has been SO uncomfortable. I was drinking TONS of water to no avail. And periodically I would drink the smooth move tea with Senna but my midwife said that type of stimulant despite being herbal is not good while pregnant. So she suggested something called Fruit-Eze, which is all natural. Its literally just made up of prunes, raisins, and dates in some specific ratio and blended some specific way that its supposed to get everything moving. Very popular in nursing homes apparently. ANYWAY, I ordered some and its like a miracle worker. I don't love the taste but its manageable, I just essentially swallow (without chewing) 2 teaspoons per day, typically at night since its pure sugar and its not good for your pancreas to have that much sugar first thing in the morning, and it has resulted in me feeling mostly normal again. I hesitate to share this because, well, who wants to talk about this BUT this was such an issue for me that I thought even if one person would benefit, its worth sharing. So there you have it, way too TMI and all.

I've been having this problem. I've left work early and called in sick cuz it hurts so bad. My doc said colace and milk of mag. Did you try those before you did fruit-eze? I am willing to try whatever. I eat lots of fiber and drink a ton of water but it hasn't helped, either. Tried exercising but it hurts so bad to move or tighten my abs I can't anymore.
