For those of us still having... digestive issues

And by digestive I mean poop. 
I found something that FINALLY works for me. I'd been taking the psyllium capsules religiously, LOTS of them, and it wasn't working. So I switched to Digestive Advantage Constipation Formula and the heavens opened up... I'm finally regular again! This has been an ongoing issue for me even before I got pregnant, and this stuff actually WORKS. I don't know if it's the probiotics or the magnesium and I don't care. Bonus: magnesium makes me sleepy, so I take it before bed and I sleep better.

I, like @R0824H also missed the squatty potty thing so I'm hoping someone fills us in ASAP.

This is my first pregnancy but I have a lot of experience in this area due to a previous illness. I have tried the Dulcolax suppositories and they work but not as good as the Miralax. My husband administered the Dulcolax with a sterile glove...a nurse at the hospital gave him some pointers. You have to really stick it up there!
After reading this post a few days ago I finally bought the squatters potty. I had seen it on shark tank and was on the fence but let me tell ya! It arrived yesterday and I used it this morning. Instead of spending 20 minutes in the bathroom and being late to work, I was able to go pretty quickly. I also take daily fiber gummies and hoping to reintroduce more greens into my diet.
That was a long post... But pooping is so near and dear to my heart!!
2 stool softeners, lots of water, followed by half of a tall iced Starbucks coffee.
I gave up caffeine for the baby, but miralax was making me throw up----- this worked! Two bm in two days!!!!!!!!
