I feel so silly asking this but when they say every pregnancy is different, they aren't kidding. This one is really throwing me for a loop! I have had alternating constipation and diarrhea since first tri, but today I was so constipated that I was almost crying on the toilet. And I'm wondering if it is what has been causing my horrible BH the last two days. And why my bottom has been sore down there, not just my butt, but everything. Not sure if it is from being constipated or the baby being low or if it something I need to call my doc about.
I've been like that for the past couple of months. I found for the soreness and rawness is that I got Preparation H pads and would fold them to "fit me" to help cool down there. For everything else water and fiber is what I've been told by my doctor. I hope this helps a little bit.
Ugh the constipation is killer! Gives me the worst BH and crampy feeling... My hips will hurt as soon as I sit on the toilet which makes it fun as well. Good times.

I try to remember to take a couple colace every day, my doc says its fine. Sometimes when I am so constipated a glycerin suppository (yuck I know) saves me all the straining and agony. Use it only as last resort and doc says its fine. I have always had problems w constipation, am 34 weeks, so far so good but know that issue is miserable...
