Help me poop

What has worked for you? I have been taking colace and lots of water so far. Do I need to amp it up with some prune juice? I haven't gone in days!

My old routine:

2 collace in the AM, prenatals with lunch, Mirilax with dinner every 3 days. The mirilax is the magic key to it all.

GL!

My doctor told me to have a cup of coffee!
Just one small one will do the trick she said.

I take probiotics every night, eat prunes every day and my accupuncturist told me about this spot above my wrist to massage that helps a lot. Maybe google it for the spot? It's on the top side of your arm, maybe 2" or 3" above your wrist between the tend

Cup of coffee - preferably on an empty stomach.  Decaf should work if you're watching that sort thing...

I had a simialr issue two weeks ago. My OB only recommends Colace and Peri-Colace during pregnancy. DH bought Colace and I took 3 pills (max allowed) per day for a week and nothing. Then I bought Peri-Colace... 2 days and back to normal.

Another vote for coffee. I don't even drink it every day, maybe every other day, and it works like a charm. Nothing else helped, you can take all the fiber you want but when you're pregnant, the smooth muscles in your digestive system shut down, so you do

Glycerin suppository.  Works like a charm, and causes no harm.

I can personally attest to jalapeo poppers working!

Thanks, everyone! If I don't go by tomorrow, I am going to try some coffee.

Two cups of coffee, on an empty stomach usually does the trick for me.
