Pooping -.-

So anyone having problems pooping? I used the search bar and didn't fine the responces I was looking for. Mostly because the questions asked weren't quite on the same line.

My question,
What has helped you get your bm's going? I know prunes are awesome, but that just makes me have diaherria afterwards. Sorry, tmi. Any advice?

    Collace as a stool softener. Once I stopped my pain meds it got easier to go. Kale smoothies and tucks for Hemmorhoids help. If u had em.

    I am still using the colace but also metamucil at least once daily seems to help make things happen which is what I think youre getting at here.

    peri-colace 2x a day helped get mine moving. I also took 1 dose of Milk of Magnesia to speed things up since I was so uncomfortable. Be careful with the MOM though, it will give you diarrhea if you take too much.
    Also, increase your water and fiber intake.

    Colace twice a day and fiber gummies have kept me fairly regular (and managable). Good luck!

    I made a double batch of bran muffins and have been eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner. And drinking "smooth move" tea and tons of water. It has really helped.

    Raisin Bran, tons of broccoli and gallons of water made it happen for me. I'm 3 wks pp and I am still not regular.

    I'm on iron pills which make me constipated and so I take stool softener daily. Fiber gummies helped through my pregnancy with constipation.

    I have had issues with this my entire life, and before I was pregnant, I took MiraLAX every day. Had to stop the MiraLAX because the doctor didn't suggest it while pregnant. I have been taking Colace twice a day, taking fiber, and drinking over 100 ounces of water a day. It still doesn't work! I was so stopped up I was doing things that I'm not proud of to trying get it to come out. I would sit on the toilet for over an hour in pain, almost to the point of tears. I finally decided 2 days ago that I had had enough of it and started taking my MiraLAX again. I'm hoping that that kicks in really soon.

    I'm also on iron so my midwife prescribed me a stool softener. The first 3 weeks or so pp I also drank apple juice and ate prunes to help
