I haven't pooped in days! Help!

in 2nd Trimester

Is there anything I can do to make myself go NOW?!?! I'm having terrible cramps. It's too late to call the doctor's office. I don't have any fiber supplements in my house, so anything I need I'll have to go to the store. WAH!!!

 What will work? I need a cleaning out!!!!

    Popcorn always helps me.  Might not be immediate, but it always helps.  So does McDonald's.  I know...weird, but something about it makes me go!

    my doctor said that if I needed I could colace tablets.  It may take a few hours to take effect.

    Fleets glycerin suppositories are a wonderful thing, pop it in, wait a few minutes, sweet, unmedicated pooping time.

     

    Colace and food can take hours/days to work. If you are on Zofran there is no hope other than an enema which is not suggested during pregnancy and suppositories which save me when I have roids!

    Fiber one bars... those things should actually be kept behind glass, with a warning to only break in an emergency.

    ALWAYS takes care of business

    OJ or coffee are usually a good trick for me.

    I've always been a fan of either All Bran or Fiber One cereal, I've eaten it every morning for about 8 years now and am always regular.  I haven't had any pregnancy constipation yet and I'm pretty sure it is from the daily dose of mega fiber I am getting.
