Scheisse (shit in German, I'm becoming cultured)

Still can't poop like a normal person. Took stool softeners for a few days and while I pooped enough to be comfortable, I did not poop enough. Plus, all they did was make me crampy which made my uterus crampy which makes me cranky...and I took the lowest dose!

Ah well. Soon enough giving birth will cleanse that entire system out on the delivery table and I can start fresh!

@lilygrace48, not sure if it will work for you, but homemade strawberry smoothie with 2 tbs peanut butter and almond milk works like a dream/clock work for me. But caffeinated coffee also gives me the poos! lol. Just weird because not any other caffeinated beverages. I haven't been doing regular coffee for a while now though for that reason.

I'm in the exact same boat! Been stopped up for a week. Took colace which at least made me go but definitely not like normal and it also made me crampy. I called the dr today and she said to take colace twice a day and to take some miralax to get things moving.

(Pun intended...)

I'm convinced my belly has dropped. Not only is my belly button down by my crotch but I've been popping daily! Since being pregnant I'm usually a once to twice a week pooper. I'm still not convinced that it means I'll go into labor anytime soon, but there ya go!

I've also begun pooping regularly - sometimes too regularly in a day. Getting woke up at 4:30 with cramps thinking - OMG, are these contractions only to realize I've got the shits really sucks. This has happened the past 2 days.

When I was still stopped up my go-to method for a good cleaning out was to eat Burger King. Particularly their original chicken sandwich - it hasn't failed me yet.

I recently started feeling like I have to go all the time but can't. I'm up to 2 a day on average (with the occasional getting up in the middle of the night to go) but I was fairly regular through pregnancy. I'm about to add in iron every other day so I fear I might not go again for another month.

Also, gas pains are the devil.

haven't had a satisfying poo (read: more than pebbles) for several days. dr says i need to start taking Colace on the daily. i'll honestly do whatever she says at this point

@CharSamm‌ I also read this thread because of the entertaining titles... that and a weird fascination with pooping. I can't tell anymore whether I need to go. There's so much pressure in there all the time.
