Save your sphincter! Get a squatty potty and treat yo' self.

Don't wanna brag or anything, but my problem is actually pooping too much! I've suffered from chronic constipation my entire life and now... idk, 4 times a day? What kind of alternate universe is this? Lol. I'm sure I'll revert to my normal bowel habits soon enough, and be going once a week again.

Just wait until baby is the size of a cantaloupe and you cant-a-poop! :-P

I remember feeling super old with my days of the week pill container that had my prenatal, iron pills and colace because it was SO needed. Not looking forward to that again, lol!

I eat a handful of prunes almost daily and it helps. Am I the only weirdo that actually enjoys eating prunes?

When I was a kid, I was forced to eat prunes and drink prune juice and eat bran cereal instead of kid cereal. I even had to drink mineral oil. As much of a fuss as I put up, I actually liked all of it.

Totally use the stool we bought for my son to reach the sink. Though I am on the opposite end of this all the way until those pain killers post delivery.

This was my favorite video before I got pregnant, now it just speaks truth. My hubs kept wondering why the trash can was upside down next to the toilet until mine finally arrived.

@Jen080916 No, I love prunes! They're sweet and delicious.

Bought a step stool the other day just for this purpose! Plus, I figure we'll need a step stool in there in a couple years anyway.

Hello poo twin! I am dealing with the same thing. What the hell is up with that body?

@Jen080916 i love prunes too, specially next to something savory!  I am having major issues, thanks for the reminder to add prunes to my shopping list!

I have terrible bloating and gas so I added prunes to my daily routine, I think they're tasty and seem to help.
I'm not constipated yet, but actually have loose stools and D. Every now and then.... oh hormones how I love u so.

I got home from running errands yesterday and found a box at my door. With a Squatty Potty in it. It was from my SIL, @mauishay , with a note saying "Congratulations you're having a poop!" 

Haven't gotten to use it yet (C'mon, colace, work your magic!), but I'm excited about all of these endorsements lol! 

wegme27

OMG I love this!

One thing that works in my favor is just about every toilet in Tanzania is a squatty potty.
Though some are terrible the nice ones look like this:
