Dump Day

It's like hump day, only shittier!

I started taking colace on the behest of my doc last week.  Fine.  It helped, I was going almost every day, but definitely cramping up right before, even if it was nothing worth cramping over.  Yesterday things started going soft so I didn't take it last night and after today I am soooo happy that I didn't.  Ugh.  I've got IBS and I've always gone back and forth between too much and not enough, so I think I just have to be careful if I start taking something like colace to make note of when I'm heading down the too much route and drop the meds for a few days. 

How's your poop shoot doing?

    After some serious episodes where I was in severe pain from constipation and then felt as if I was giving birth out of my ass, my father, a respected physician, really helped me out. I make a "poop cocktail" every night that consists of half a cap of generic Miralax and a heaping tablespoon of Metamusil. I drink this while taking my many vitamins and pre-natals. If I miss even one night, I regret it and the toilet gets clogged the next time I go. It's been very "satisfying" in many ways and I think it also tastes like Tang, which reminds of being a kid. I trust my Dad, but be sure to talk to your own doctor about this concoction if you want to try it. Good luck ladies!

    @read247 has the key to pooping while pregnant.  McDonald's.  Since I'm really constipated to the point that I felt as I was trying to labor this poo out last night and still nothing, I think I'll hit up McDonald's on the way home.

    TMI warning:

    A couple of days ago I was constipated and quite uncomfortable so I decided to use a suppository as suggested by the doctor. I have never used one successfully before (I've tried twice before), but I thought I would try. After about 20 minutes I felt like I could go and according to the directions the time was right. I did go, only to discover the suppository was completely intact. Since then I've had diarrhea. Next time I will leave things alone.

    Giant forest green poos due to the combination of colace in my prenatal vitamins and my iron/folic acid cocktail I was prescribed. Usually paired with cramps and contractions. When I'm feeling bad I make a smoothie with lots of mango and drink a cup of coffee and it usually works things out. I also make some mean whole wheat waffles that my husband has started calling poop waffles.

    I went from generally normal every day poops to every 2 or 3 days with bad cramping - to the point of doubling over if I don't go. And I can't go until it's darn well ready. Great.

    Then today mucus with my poo..guess that goes on the ask the ob list for tomorrow's appt.

    The mucus is most likely due to it being held hostage by your bowels for a few days. If you are concerned definitely ask the doc though.
