for constipation: i had the problem since i started taking my prenatal vitamins and plus my hormones also make me constipated. i tried alot of methods including oatmeal. something told me to buy "high fiber" oatmeal (maple brown sugar). lets just say it DOES help. sorry if this is TMI but im sure it may help someone.
@armstrong2, me too girl!!! also, walnuts helped me with my last pregnancy! try drinking water infused with fruit, like lemons limes and cucumbers even mint leaves are good :)
thanks. lol im willing to try anything thats not medicine. I'll try flax seeds @polancobaby
dam... im sorry.. :/ the inly other thing i can think of is flax seeds.
i couldn't keep prune juice down @polancobaby 😕
have u tried prunes or prune juice yet? that works for me.
@armstrong2, yup. . especially when you're a mom of more than 1 and still get talked to like you've never had a baby before.
i know 😕 the things we go thru to get a precious gift in the end @ilyric
omg yess i have to go everyday to feel regular. @maandiii
It's all the extra iron in the prenatal. :(
@armstrong2, I'm glad you are finally having some relief. I have to have apple cider vinegar to help my irregularity and I cannot stand it when I go days without using the restroom. plus when you finally do go it's just super hard and it hurts!!
i try and stay away from any other medicine as possible but my doctor did recommend it. @ab
stool softners freak me out. lol all because they gave it to me after i had my c section with my son and while it did help i was going for a long time @lalamichelle0707
miralax! Totally safe to take while pregnant I been using it my whole pregnancy!
Try taking Stool softeners with your prenatal vitamins. That's what I do 😀
i struggled my whole pregnancy with my son not knowing all i had to do was buy the "high fiber" kind. i ate regular oatmeal and it did nothing for me. im in love with it now. lol @maandiii
Haha yes! oatmeal and apple juice are great for helping constipation.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...
My daughter been constipated for a couple days now.. I tried pears and other fruits and that’s not helping.. any suggestions?
My baby is constipated:( I give her breastmilk and baby oatmeal that's all some apple sauce but she didnt poop today my poor little babyyyy 😭😭😭😭😢

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
I eat dates and by the next day I'm almost pooping on myself
