2nd Trimester
what i would give.. (TMI POST)
Oh I could start listing all day the things I would give to take a nice good poo! I have tried everything.. stool softeners recommended by my doctor, prune juice, anything with pulp, corn (haha), and the dairy products that used to have me running dont do anything now. I go back to the doctor tuesday and am thinking about getting a suppository even though I really dont want to.. anything has to be better than crapping bricks right? Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions that might work? I would try ANYTHING! lol

This, although I take Miralax every-other day (it's a stool softener so you won't have to strain and in turn helps to avoid hemorrhoids). Keep up with the water. A Fiber One bar works for me to get things moving; shredded wheat works for my friend who is two weeks ahead of me with her pregnancy.
You and me both! I might try that Mirilax suggested. Except I still have occaisonal diarrhea too...which is almost a relief and almost worse at the same time... Pregnancy has it's joys. (Ignore the thousand spelling mistakes please!)

I have to tell you I haven't had a single issue- my primary craving since week 4 has been Thomas English Muffins. I always buy the Light Multigrain variety that has a super high fiber content. Whatever it is about that particular brand of fiber...is highly effective for me. I eat 1-2 every single day. Put some plum jelly on that and you'll be good. :-)
Worth a try- tasty, cheap, easy to work into your routine!
If that doesn't work combine it with some Taco Bell bean burritos... That could tip you in the opposite direction! Apologies for TMI on my end there...

How much meat are you eating? When my brother's ex-wife was pregnant with her son, she had horrible constipation. Like she pooed once every week or two and it was always a multi-hour affair. We're all vegetarians and she would always mock us, so it took my brother 6 months to convince her to try a vegetarian diet. After that she had no constipation whatsoever. For her second pregnancy she immediately took up a vegetarian diet again and didn't have any constipation.
This would make sense, this is what they told DH to take before his colonoscopy to clear him out. Good luck
you put butter in your coffee? Would it not work on toast?
I tried EVERYTHING!! For me the only thing that worked was the yogurt Activia. I ate 2 or 3 a day. It took a couple of days, but things have been "moving" ever since. Good luck, I know how awful it is to feel that way!
