Constipation vs. Baby sitting there

CaCa1125

UGH!  I have been beyond frustrated, in pain and miserable with what I think is some constipation as well as the baby putting pressure on my decending colon/rectum.  Has anyone else had this happen?  My Mom said she had to get a maternity girdle when she was PG with me because of the pressure. A GIRDLE....I'm not an old lady! 

 I've tried colace, MOM, and Metamucil and still feel like I have some left in me.  Oh the joys of pregnancy!

 You have to try the Metamucil Clear and Natural (blue label).  It's tasteless, gritless, and flavor less. I put it in water and coffee.  No taste!!!!

I broke down and used a glycerin suppository yesterday... totally gross and uncomfortable, but it helped. And I drank 2.5 liters of water throughout the day. Definitely helped.

This part exactly.  I actually had to do two.  One Sunday and one Tuesday.  It definitely was not fun, but I was in tears from the pain and could barely move or bend over.  It was the only thing that gave me any relief.  It is gross, but once I got the "clog" out (ehh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit) it's been a lot better.  I've been taking Colace as well as eating tons of fiber and drinking tons of water.  That combo seems to be helping - for now.   Good luck!!!

This was me last weekend.  I've been eating 2 cups of black grapes every morning since and have been regular and have had so much relief.  The initial bm was painful but since then it has been back to normal.  I've also had a lot more energy too, DH said he thinks i was so backed up it was running my body down.
