Cant Go!!

lesleyn21 · July 2011

I know this is TMI but I gotta post. I have always had problems going to the bathroom before I got pregnant, then I got pregnant and of course it gets worse. I just started Zofran a few days ago and as most of you know or have heard that makes it worse!!! I feel like I have to go bad with the gassy stomach but it is not coming out!

Ladies who have had this problem help me please!!!

I have had the same problem! I only take the Zofran when I am really feeling bad, but eating anything with a lot of fiber helps me. Try broccoli or a salad. I have also ready that you can take Miralax too, but I haven't tried that. My mom's remedy was always prunes!

Good luck

I got a PNV with a stool softener and it has been heaven on earth... look into it!

lesleyn21 · July 2011

Honestly Im too scared to not take it lol I dont want to start feeling like crap at all! But I know next week Im gonna only take it if I have to get things done lol.

What is PNV??

shortsweet&sassy · July 2011

I have problems when Im not pregnant but once I get pregnat it magically works the way its supposed to. Miralax is awesome and you can put it in anything you drink since its flavor less.

Sorry, don't have this problem, but I have found that frozen blackberries, watermelon, and dates have certainly loosened everything up for me a lot.

I honestly take Miralax once a week. I'll do it on a Saturday afternoon if we're not doing anything that night, or Sunday which is usually my "relax day". It'll really worth it, otherwise I'm feeling sick to my stomach. Plus, it really helps that bloat go down, lol

prenatal vitamin. there is a brand citranatal that has a stool softener in it. ask your doc for a rx for it.

maybe try prune juice??

Zofran made me so constipated that I stopped taking taking it after a few weeks. Miralax works great, but it can take a day or two to make things happen. Don't let it get bad! If you haven't gone for a few days, take something.

Oh, I'm the queen of constipation. I had it before getting pg and it's so much worse now. FML. I'm trying to stay on top of it by eating lots of fiber and drinking apple juice. It's not working the best! I need to add miralax to my daily routine as well.

I only take Zofran a few times a week but it's wrecking havoc on my body.

My mom used to make me mineral oil milkshakes when I was little. Make yourself a big milkshake before bed-milk+your favorite ice cream+correct dosage of mineral oil-put it in a blender. It works and you really can't taste the oil. Plus it's a good excuse to have a milkshake every night!

Oh god, this is me too. After two weeks of lying on the couch, unable to function from horrible nausea, zofran has been a miracle drug. But after four days on it, and being unable to poop the whole time... I'm not sure which is worse! I'm always regular (every single morning) so this is freaking me out. Guess I will head out to go get some miralax... ick. I'm glad that zofran is working for you too though, I remember seeing your previous posts and you sounded so so tired of being nauseous. :-) Just sucks that this is one of the side effects... ick.

COLACE once in morning and once at night. Also ACTIVIA. It saved my Life, I swear to you;0) Eat one every day. My doc also said fiber stuff in morning with milk of mag before bed works well....

lbsunde · July 2011

I have had that problem with it too, but I've been better lately. I have been eating a lot of fruit which seems to be a big help.

mkjones4 · July 2011

Take some Mirilax and take it NOW before it gets worse. I let my constipation get so bad a few weeks ago. Suddenly I was doubled over in pain on the floor for hours. I took Mirilax then, but it still took 2 doses to kick in. I would start taking it now and take it once a day until you have a bowel movement. Also, start eating more fiber to help stay regulated once the Mirilax gets you going. Good Luck!

I second the Colace. It's on my doctor's approved medicine list, so I started taking one a night and noticed a difference after a couple of days. I think I'm going to up it to 2 a day just so that I'm more regular.
