So I am beginning to realize I am getting backed up. Don't get me wrong though, I can go and I do go its just I am not completely clearing myself out. So now I am starting to feel sick and irritated in my tummy area and sometimes after I eat I feel a little queezy (last time this happened it was constipation).

So my question..what can I take? I know benefiber but that its to prevent, I need clearing out asap. I also think I remember my OB saying colace was okay but I can't remember and its a Saturday. I have colace in my house but don't want to take it without reassurance first and will explode if I have to wait until Monday feeling like this.

girl i here you! i never had a problem with pooping till now... i had gone up to 2 iorn pills a day but now i am taking 1 iorn pill everyday and a second one every other day. i have lots of gas issues too. i didnt have them before i found out i was pregnant but now i am doubled over with gas pain every other day.... pooping is now a long process for me, i feel like hubby cause i take in reading material lol... not to get too graphic but it dosent even feel like everythings too "hard" it feels more like my bowels dont have the strenght to push em out.... Hope someones got an answer cause the applesauce my ob recommended is not working and id like to hit up cvs on the way home so i can poop in peace!!!

Hey there!

Feel free to hit up CVS. Colace is just fine (I got the clearance from my mom whose a nurse and she double checked with the pharmasicts at her job).

Good luck!

colace is a stool softener and senakot is a laxative

Opps sorry. I guess then she told me not to take the senakot (we have a couple of different ways to make you go potty stocked in our medicine cabinet).

Simone,

Colace is on my approved list from my OB. I take one to two daily, depending on how loose everything is. It's safe!

Thank you Carrie for you speedy answer. It also just hit me (thanks pregnancy brain) that my mom is a nurse so I gave her a ring and she said the same thing. It is fine to take and I can take it daily since it isnt habit forming. I am sooo excited to take one tonight lol.

Happy Holidays!
