Just want to poop!

jackipinker · August 2014

I am so constipated!! Anyone have a sure fire way to go??!

071115 · August 2014

Wendys usually works for me!!
Try a suppository

stace114 · August 2014

Fiber gummies were super helpful!

Philly82 · August 2014

Drink a cup of coffee

csuperstar02 · August 2014

Organic prune juice

MrsZ1891 · August 2014

Following this! I am in the same boat unfortunately. I've tried stool softener, hot juice, and coffee. It's been 5 days!

babyj32015 · August 2014

I tried prune juice for the first time yesterday. Worked within 2 hours. I'll be doing that again today. Good luck.

So far things that get my metabolism up have been the best...exercise, iced mochas from 7-11, and sex. I want to try prune juice, but keep forgetting to buy it.

caribeth80 · August 2014

Miralax helped me

My hubby's favorite saying, "Do you know what will help? Sex." Such a clever man.

I posted this on another thread (I thought it was this one) BUT, because of my ms I have been drinking protein drinks for breakfast because I cant even think of food in the morning.

Since Ive been using the drinks, I have been much more regular

jess412love · August 2014

Miralax works wonders.

kaylaalexxander · August 2014

Fiber gummies! Sometimes I eat too many because they are so tasty!

janda426 · August 2014

Ugh you have to try everything possible to get yourself to go. Down 3 cups of prune juice, eat prunes, take miralax, take a stool softener every night, fiber gummies... Anything and everything!!! Also DRINK WATER, all day long!!

******TMI ALERT*******

I was so constipated last week I had to physically pull the poop out of me because it was stuck. I don't ever want to have to do that again it was the most disgusting thing of my entire life. When the poop is inside of you for that long it becomes rock hard, and not to mention huge and extremely painful to push out. Like I was literally sweating because I had no idea how I was going to get this out of me. It's no joke dude. When poop backfires, it's not messing around.

rfarquhar32 · August 2014

Colace daily and losts of water

blueroad · August 2014

Raisinets

One of my coworkers swears by room-temperature Dr Pepper.

Metamucil has worked for me. It took a couple days to get going but now I drink one packet a day and have been feeling much better. First couple days are hard with bloating but once that passes with the first movement it subsides.

This happened to me as well last week and I legit thought I was going to pass out it hurt SO BAD!!! Never again do I want to ever experience this lol. Glad I'm not alone though!

neonviolet · September 2014

Lots and lots and lots of water worked for me- my goal was like 120 oz or something. Also chili and Mexican food.

molassa · September 2014

Constipation is just about the worst part of pregnancy! You could try prunes, but since I'm lactose intolerant, a big bowl of ice cream works for me...

Whitfry · September 2014

Salad always works for me.

Lovebeingamomny · September 2014

Oh @janda426‌ that sounds so terrible. I remember you talking about that last week but whoa didn't realize it as that bad. FX you don't have to go through that again honey!!

hydrangeablue · September 2014

If only sex worked. Coffee usually takes care of it but not so much lately. I'm getting Metamucil tomorrow and eating grapes now. Here's hoping!

Tayler Wurtz · September 2014

Leafy green salad, watermelon, prune juice, exercise, coffee, AND LOTS of WATER!!!

Taco Bell.

And if you top that off with a gas station hot dog, you should be good to go!

Leather318 · September 2014

Two words. Pregnancy. Yoga. Worked wonders for me. Hope you find something that works for you!
lol and I second the Taco Bell/gas station hot dog suggestion!

That is almost word for word what I told my hubby. That it felt like I was pooping rocks. I only went 3 days and hadn't realized it, but yeah, there was sweating and screaming involved ... I think the pain of that experience convinced me I'm going to need an epi at birth.

moniquea27 · September 2014

Mix some extra virgin olive oil in a small glass of juice and chug. Works in like 30 minutes for me

jackipinker · September 2014

What sucks is I had gastric bypass a year ago so all the food that makes you go I can't eat! But I have found smoothies are working great! Protein powder, Greek yogurt, blueberries and milk or oj and a banana works great!

I had an experience like that before. OMG!!! I'd rather go thru natural child birth with triplets than to ever go thru that again. I swear it was the size of a baseball

Lmsq1611 · September 2014

I take 500 mg of magnesium every night to help with migraine prevention. If I ever skip the magnesium due to nausea then the next day I won't poop. Other than those days I have had no problems with constipation and have stayed regular throughout my pregnancy. You might want to start with a lower dose of magnesium though bc if affects people differently and I was on an even higher dose pre-pregnancy. My doctor said it is safe up to 600 mg per day for pregnancy but talk to you doctor.

amberb612 · September 2014

I had a great chiropractor last time that not only helped with my back and hip pain but I told her about the conception and voila! After every appointment we had poop!

okayestmom12 · September 2014

Colace & Metamucil are part of my pooping cocktail. And eating corn.

sweaver93 · September 2014

Ugh, I have tried almost everything on this list, and nothing! It's been a week of hell. I ate Taco Bell, gas station burritos, Mexican food, jalepenos, even the dreaded sugar free gummy bears. An entire bag of those suckers. Nothing. A bottle of prune juice over the course of a few hours, dried prunes, hot apple juice, and a stool softner. Nothing. All that food over the course of 24 hours. My husband thinks it's hilarious to point out every time he goes-_- hoping you ladies are having a better time! Ready to not have any zofran so I'll be normal again

Yes yes yes. I'm there with you. I'm struggling like this at least once a week (up until 10 mins ago being the latest episode) and I too am feeling convinced that it will be a yes please to an epi at birth!!! - my oh my I'm exhausted.... This last episode had me bonded to the toilet for the last 5 hours!

Just want to poop!
