I Lost five glorious pounds last night (poop thread) AW

Most amazing thing to have happened in a while.  I finally went and saw my OB about my chronic, severe constipation, it had gotten so bad that I stopped eating solid food and was only consuming broths and soups.  According to the office scale i have gained 12 pounds in 2 weeks.  She gave me a FLEET enema and told me to take it home and have at it.  I had my doubts, but 5 minutes later I felt like a new woman. I never thought taking a shit could be so rewarding!!! And to top it off, i lost 5 pounds in those 5 minutes.  I was finally about to eat a real meal today because for once I had room in my belly.  Nobody else in my life will get this, but i figured some of my fellow constipation sufferers might ;)

    I definitely appreciate pooping so much more as a pregnant woman!

    With DS I never had an issue with pooping. I was still a daily pooper. This LO is a whole other story! So I'm in the same boat with how amazing it feels to poop. And if I get to poop two days in a row I feel like a million bucks!

    Congrats to all the Bumpers who have gotten to poop in the last 24hrs!

    There is nothing like walking out the bathroom like you accomplished something. I definitely notice that I am more productive after lol! I am happy for your good poop!

    You BITCH! ;) I'm seriously jealous. I've been having poo probs this entire pregnancy. It's awful. I've never used an enema but I may have to give it a try. Do you know if you can buy the FLEET one you used?

    Like @pleirey‌ it wasn't a problem for me with DS. This time around...

    Usually something as simple as a bowl of Raisin Bran will have me running to the bathroom. Now I feel like I need all the fibre and water, and even then I am luckily if a get one "good" poop a week. :(

    That's the best feeling! My daily Zofran has me seriously uncomfortable, but I pooped every day for the last 3 days, and it felt great, lol.

    Yes, they sell them at CVS for sure. I mentally felt a little uncomfortable doing it, but physically there was no discomfort. I just took a pillow and blanket into the bathroom so I could lay comfortably in the recommended position. Just make sure you drink plenty of water.

    I almost posted something very similar to this the other night.  I was so amazed at how much came out of me that I felt the need to share it with someone and my husband didn't seem too interested haha.   I never thought I would love going to the bathroom so much, but when you go so long without it- it's amazing!

    Yeah the "mental discomfort" is why I have never tried it before. But desperate times call for desperate measures! I will check CVS. Wish me luck! ;)
