  Liquid cal-mag! (Take a hefty dose at night.) Seriously, it is a life saver! And it also helps to prevent awful leg/muscle cramps.

  I know this thread is over but I can't resist. I was a gyn/onc nurse. I saw LOTS of ovarian cancer patients with bowel obstructions that had no bowel movements for long periods of time. They were miserable, puking, in excruciating pain, and always needed to be hospitalized for bowel rest/NG tube. No one had to tell them to go to the hospital. It was obvious they had a medical emergency. And it was often an end-stage thing. I find your story *very* hard to believe.

  
  

  If you are pregnant and have cancer with a bowel obstruction (be it simply fecal impaction or tumor mass-related) -- YOU NEED TO BE IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. Everyone here has told you that. If manual disimpaction and medication didn't fully relieve your issues, you would be a candidate for palliative surgery to remove your tumors/ovaries and hopefully you could continue your pregnancy. That's how serious your supposed situation is. But you're like "la di da, I called my doctor and he's not worried" -- not a single gyn oncologist I've ever met would say "see ya Tues" if they heard "8 weeks no BM" especially in a pregnant patient. 

  
  

  Definitely MUD.

  I have had bad constipation too. Even when it does eventually come out its hard and hurts. I switched to prenatal gummies and colic acid. Have helped immensely. They say gummies dissolve better and may help with your constipation as well.

  I wondered if she meant she hadn't gone on her own for 8 weeks but had done an enema. Not that she hadn't had any movement at all. Otherwise, another vote for MUD.

  This was my thought process as well. That may be the enemas were moving things along but she hasn't actually gone, on her own, in 8wks. There's just no way you could last 8wks with no movement.
  
  Hope you're doing well op! Please keep us updated.
  
  (PS: If this is MUD, then fuck off)
