Hi Ladies,
Sorry for the graphic details but I have been constipated the last few weeks and was able to "use" the rest room twice today. Now I have terrible gas that hurts! Has anyone else had this issue?
I also asked my RE for a prescription for colace (since it's so expensive at the drug store) and she said that they didn't write prescriptions for it. I know some ladies use miralax - is that the same thing as colace? Is miralax over the counter?
Thanks in advance

I've been really gassy since getting pg (it's much worse on some days compared to others, though). I think it's normal.
Just a note - Colace and Miralax serve two different purposes. Colace is a stool softener, while Miralax is a laxative. It's my understanding that Colace won't make you go, it'll just make it easier when you do finally go. Miralax will make you go. Neither of these will help you with your gas, either. Regardless, I hope you feel better soon!
i was going through the same last week. I have found that eating prunes or drinking prune juice helps a lot with constipation. Prunes don't taste great but they do the 'job.' Good luck!
