Constipation...HELP
Sooooooooo at 10wks constipation has found me in full force. I have tried coffee, fiber, ducolex and nothing is working. Ladies do you have any suggestions. I am straining so hard I feel faint and NOTHING comes. HELP! Oh and a silly question but a real fear for me.... Can I push the baby out?

Re: Constipation...HELP
increase your fiber! I use the Benefiber chewables and they are fruity-tasting and not bad at all!
And don't worry about pushing the baby out -- but try not to push so hard, you can get hemoroids....

Re: Constipation...HELP
food with high fiber, dried fruit, milk (well, it doesn't agree w/ me so it works for me) LOL! Also, I noticed cardio workouts help a lot. I go on the elliptical or treadmill a few times a week and after a good workout you def feel like you gotta go.
Plus drink a lot of water to stay hydrated.

Re: Constipation...HELP
The thing that works best for me, believe it or not, is dried apricots. I eat about a 1/2 cup of those, and I'm "good to go" 
I also use Milk of Magnesia if I don't have any apricots around.

Re: Constipation...HELP
you can't push the baby out... but you can give yourself a mean case of hemorrhoids (this coming from personal experience from my last pregnancy  )
drink lots of water and take something like miralax or colace. try to take it pretty regularly so that you don't get too stopped up.
