1st Trimester
What can I take?... alittle TMI
I'm going to call my doc shortly but I forgot the last 2 days and they closed early. Pretty much since conception, I've had horrible constipation. I've suffered from Colitis thanks to a spurt of under active thyroid and therefore haven't been able to go in like 2 weeks with the exception of pellets here and there. This has made my bloating and swelling worse. I increased my water intake since I know with DS they stressed it so much but I feel the water is also making it worse. My mom gave me a stool softner which is helping a little but not much. Anything else I can take?

With my last pregnancy I was VERY constipated. Like ... I didn't poop for a week. Yeah, it was bad.
Anyway, I called my OB and they told me I could try a Fleet glycerin suppository. It sounds unpleasant, but I'm so glad I tried it, lol. It definately worked.
I'd call your OB's office and see what they suggest. I feel like there's some suppositories that are safe for pregnant women, and others that aren't. But I can't remember what they are off the top of my head.
