TMI HELP on the toliet for almost 30 MIN im sooo constipated i dont know what to do i tried rocking…

manually push it. If you put your finger in your vagina you can apply pressure. Sounds gross but it works

Warm water may help. I had a episiotomy and pooping after that is awful. I think I've had 3 normal movements in the 11 days? But warm/hot water really seemed to help me some.

Glove up and take it out I had to do it twice on myself and being a nurse I'm use to doing it on patients not myself but drastic times call for drastic measures so do what u have to and the relief will feel so wonderful

raise your feet while sitting on the toilet ! Sounds wierd I know but when i first tried it i pooped amazinly after DAYS of constipation.

put sumtin under ur feet and sit back a lil. and if it dont come out i agree... gloves on and pull it out. i have had the same issue

thank you ladies i ended up pushing it was horrible but i I'm still a little stuck i had my husband put a suppository so now im just waiting i think part of me was freaking out for the baby my mom and midwife reassured me he is okay. i peed everytime i pushed and like a dummy my mind related it to birth and all these fears came out 😒😫 next time i will elevate my feet and if i have to pull it out i will. i probably wouldn't have gone through as much as i did if i did that earlier.@lorraine2014, @mommyofdoubletrouble, @mommyofcohenjayceandmatthew, @klove2016, @arivera64,

put a stool under your feed or lay a chair down and set your feet on it

your knees should be higher than your hips. This forces your posture to allow your intestines to straighten out and is great for digestion. I recommend the squatty potty for the future. look it up

Also, plenty of water, fibrous foods, exercise and a daily probiotic so you can avoid this in the future

is Gatorade okay i seem to have this endless thirst with water sometimes @kimberkatherine,

@woahmama Gatorade may actually dehydrate you more because of the amount of sugar in it. I'd recommend getting some amino acids (it is a powder that you add to water- it flavors it and has electrolytes like Gatorade but not the sugar, I order NLA for Her Aminos off of Amazon in pink lemonade flavor and love them. Totally safe for pregnant and nursing mommas.
