Re: embarrassed to ask but what do you
try hot coffee, prune juice or eat lots of raisins. DON'T take an OTC laxative, that's a big no-no I have heard

Re: embarrassed to ask but what do you
thanks girls!
I don't remember having the problem so early in my pregnancy with my first. And it's so painful when I get this way since I have CS scar tissue .

I had this bad with DC 1 and I would put Metamucil in my drinks. Fiber One bars too.

Re: embarrassed to ask but what do you
Milk of Magnesia or Colace is fine. I take a Colace every day because of the iron supplements I'm on. They said I should be taking it multiple times a day, but I found when I did, things were urgent

Re: embarrassed to ask but what do you
Tons of fiber! Cereal high in fiber, all wholewheat bread, fruit and veg, and yes, prune juice.
I'm afraid to use stool softeners for fear that they would mess up my system.
