TMI. I just want to...

Poop.

Seriously.  I feel like I have tried pretty much everything that is safe for the baby, but nothing works.  It's bad enough that my 'hips are spreading' and hurt like hell, but being constipated for over a week?  Seriously not cool.

    Oh that SUCKS!  Have you tried Milk of Magnesia?  That is the only thing that worked for me after I couldn't go for 6 days.

    Ive been eating fruit like crazy to keep myself regular cause I was starting to get constipated from the iron.  It seems to be working.

    Did you try prune juice?  Also go out and buy some vit C take one or two a day this helps the body absorb the Iron, if you are trying to pass extra iron it can make you constipated.  Extra vit C will not hurt you because your body just pees out the extra.  Be sure to drink lots and lots of water.  It isn't TMI we have all been in the same boat at one point.  

    Good Luck

    That sucks! I have no advice, I just wanted to tell you I felt bad. Maybe ask the dr. for suggestions. Sorry!

    Did you try a suppository (sp.)? Although they aren't fun, it was the only thing that worked for me. After that I constantly took benefiber or colace at least every other day to prevent anymore constipation.

    As already said, drink LOTS of water.  Lots and lots and lots.

    If I drink any more water, I'm going to be swimming...

    The only thing I haven't tried is a suppository, because I wasn't sure how safe they were.  I need to find something.  Colace hasn't been helping at al!

    I'm sorry!!!! Have you tried coffee? That really helps me! Also walking (like a long time - over an hour) and prunes. Worth a try if you haven't tried those! GL!
