lets talk poop

And the lack thereof over here.  I've never had this issue.  Not even with DS.  It's so bad my butt is bleeding.  I started colace, but what do you do to help this?

    Luckily I do not have that problem yet... increase your fiber intake and also your fluid intake. You can try prunes and prune juice, pears,peaches. Ask your doc about miralax, works great. Try eating yogurt daily. Avoid constpating foods like cheese, bananas, etc. You could get another prenatal with out iron in it and take that for awhile until you get back.on track.

    Miralax is a savior! It doesn't taste like anything in juice and if you take it for a day or 2 it seems to soften things up...colace didn't do a thing for me but the other works! Just make sure you're hydrated because it pulls water into your intestine and you have to have enough for it to work well!

    Your bleeding could also be hemorrhoids, a very common issue during pregnancy and often made worse by constipation. You could also try changing your prenatal as some seem to be less likely to constipate although they are almost exactly the same. It's weird.


    Or fizzures. Try prune juice too and some fruit like strawberries! Take a full glass of water with your vitamin too!

    I'm so sorry! I drink a small glass of prune juice in the morning and evening and its helped. I actually hold my nose when I drink it feels like I'm 5 years old!

    Colace, metamucil, and prunes on board and I'm still having issues. I have given myself an enema twice this pregnancy.

    I either ate something bad or got a stomach bug last week and had diarrhea for a couple of days. I pooped so much my "blump" disappeared. Things have been more regular since, I feel so much better. I hope it stays this way doubtful.

    Drink as much water as you possibly can. Usually a bottle or two will help some coupled with colace fiber bars and fresh veggies. Gl!

    Increase fiber and fluid intake. Also I keep a asmall step stool in the bathroom. My legs are short but if I put them on the stool it aligns everything correctly so I can go more easily. 

    Also I drink a cup of regular coffee and eat a carton of Activia Greek yogurt a day.

    I pooped (unsatisfactorily) today for the first time since last sunday... this is terrible! I have started taking miralax in the mornings and I've been trying to eat more blueberries and increase my fluid intake eventhough I already am drinking a ton. 

    It's terrible but our body is all out of funk w growing a LO inside of us! 

    I've also had to deal with the bloody bottom, and it hurts terribly and makes me want to cry every time I think about pooping! My mom got me these wonderful wipes that are supposed to help with hemorrhoids

    Thanks for posting this!! I eat Raisin Bran every morning followed by a Fiber One bar as a mid-morning snack and still struggle with pooping. My butt has bled as well and it just hurts to poop. I haven't started any supplements/meds yet, but think I might soon. I've heard Miralax (sp?) is pretty awesome.
