I'm going to go crazy.

I can't eat/drink anything else because I'm so dang "full".

I've upped my fiber, have been chugging water, had metimucil, ha a couple apple juice/prune juice cocktails...ahhhhhh

I seriously feel like I'm loosing my mind because of poopor lack there of.

Rant over.

    Usually prune juice is a sure thing. I have prunes ready to go as soon as I can even think about pitting anything else in my mouth.

    I hasn't had any caffeine since I found out I was pregnant. This morning I did. I thought I'd be good to go. No luck. Boo

    I'm right there with you. The constipation has made me feel worse than the m/s. I just feel so full and my bowels are so distended, it's disgusting!

    I've pretty much tried everything mentioned, including prunes/prune juice and so far the only thing to get me going was a suppository. I used one this morning and went a little bit, it was a pretty rough experience but at least it allowed me to eat a little bit. I'm definitely going to be talking about my MW at my appointment this week because I cannot go through 7 more months of dealing with this.

    Miralax is what I take when having issues. Normally works by the next day.

    I just went and bought a Fiber Supplement, more juice, colace, and Fiber One Cookie Bars. Trying to avoid the Metamucil such things if I can...... Not completely constipated, but it hurts and TMI, its clear I'm very far behind and I honestly think thats a big piece of where my nausea is coming from!! Ugh!

    This! I've heard this works too. Coconut is a natural laxative.

    I've had decent luck eating citrus fruits, not sure why. I've been having a grapefruit or a couple of mandarins every day and it has helped. I definitely felt it when I didn't have them for a few days.

    Ugh, hate that feeling.

    I had to take some Metamucil this weekend, and it helped.  I drink lots of water and eat a lot of fiber already.  I'm going to have to try the coconut water as mentioned above.

    I know the feeling.  Try going for a long walk.  That works for me.

    I haven't had coffee in about a week and a half and had a half cup this morning. Boom! Potty time!

     

    If prunes and metamucil aren't helping, thats a real b*tch! Try eating an apple and some yogurt and drink a biiig glass of water with it.

    Constipation is the WORST! I had problems with constipation during my pregnancy with DS1. However it didn't start until late in my 2nd tri. This time around I'm already dealing with it. During my last pregnancy I started taking mirlax every other day to keep things moving and I'm back to doing that now. As well as increasing fiber and drinking lots of water.

    I cant stress enough how important it is to stay as regular as you can during pregnancy and after deliver. After I had DS1 I ended up getting an an fissure it is a pain unlike anything I've ever felt. Way worse than labor and childbirth, WAY worse.

    Ohhh and plums also have the same effect as prunes and Dole makes plum juice. It's much tastier than prune juice!

    Hopefully things get better for us all in this department soon! Good poops mean happy people. Haha!
