What did/do you mommies use when you can poop. I forgot what softener to use I bought women's laxative from Walmart and wasn't sure it's ok

    Laxative is not okay. Get colace or another softener.

    Also kiwi is a natural lax! One day keeps everything moving smoothly!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

    What works for me is a little coffee. It always does the trick. If you're not having caffeine, make sure you drink plenty of water.

    Have you tried the natural route first?  Fruits, veggies, foods high in fiber, lots of water?  

    I have a small kale/fruit smoothie each morning and I haven't had any issues yet.

    Good luck!

    The coffee trick works for me.  I started off avoiding it because caffeine dehydrates.  After about two months all i wanted was coffee and when i finally gave in and had a cup - it was amazing.  Best poop ever.

    Milk of magnesia works great and my doctor said it was fine.

    I have had two things I've integrated in my diet that have helped..Benefibre and All bran cereal topped with a ripe banana. Even a cup of tea!! I was so badly backed up that I was using the bathroom every 4 DAYS and by day 4 almost in tears so uncomfortable. Now it's a lot more regular:)
