Let's talk constipation relief

I haven't gone since either Thursday or Friday. I'm blaming it on the turkey!! Plus I ate it again last night. Not smart. Saturday I had a burger which is also binding but at that point I hadn't noticed. When I go I push and nothing comes out then I wipe and there is thick poop on the tissue, even 1 little turd. It's almost as if it's coming down but won't actually come out. Like my butt hole fused together! Sorry for the tmi!!!om waiting for suppositories to be dropped off to me. Anything else I can do besides water and veggies

Pregnancy hormones are wonderful. In my experience, I tried almost everything, including an enema as a last resort. That was a bad idea. Suppositories only kind of work. MOM just caused me pain. Colace worked for 2 weeks. Of course I tried fluids and natural fiber first before medication, but 2 weeks without going was enough of a fight. The only consistent thing for me has been Miralax. I take it in the evening every 2 or 3 days. Works like a charm and makes me go "normal" the next morning. No fire drills to the toilet.

I eat prunes.

They really work! I usually try to get in one a day but if I'm having more problems I'll eat 5 or 6.

However even with the prunes I try not to push. Idk why. My mom told me not to lol. I just put my feet on a step stool to put me in a squat and chill on the toilet until it happens.

That's funny!! I'm headed to the store after my DD morning nap. Thanks
