What can I take for this constipation.??? I totally forgot to tell my doctors about it today. it hurts so bad.

For Constipation:

Citrucel or Unifiber

Colace

Fiber Caplets or FiberCon

Metamucil

ClearLax, MiraLax

I take MiraLax for my constipation. It works soooo well!!!

This is a list of medicines you can take for constipation and it is okay to take while pregnant!!

@zackemilymcguire, ok I have miralax here. Thanks so much. It's so uncomfortable and I don't want to strain just to have a BM.

For relief over night use milk of magnesia. Take before bed and you should go in the morning. Then take miralax when you feel it starting to happen. I use to take it wth grape juice and that really helped

Miralax may take a couple rounds to work where if it's really bad milk of magnesia works over night

@ecahanes, ok thank you but I don't think I have any at the moment but I'll definitely get some. I just passed it after trying for 6 hours. TMI

@tieasha, I got way worse then you. I never had nausea really with my pregnancies but the constipation was terrible!

@ecahanes, I had real bad morning sick in the beginning, now it's constipation I'm dealing with. I just wanna feel normal lol.

Also, remember to drink half your body weight in ounces of water a day. Water will help “lube” the stool and make it pass normally. And to prevent more future constipation try a daily probiotic. A healthy gut needs good bacteria to function properly!

@mamawallace1201, ok thanks again.
