@imanimomma the main thing with constipation is you need to take a stool softener for at least a week afterward. Basically, your colon has been backed up so instead of being the size of a kiwi, parts of it are as big as an orange. It takes time for the colon to shrink back down to the normal size, and if you stop taking stool softeners, the poop can get plugged up again. Make sure you check with your doctor, a lot has probably changed since I was pregnant as far as safety, but definitely keep up with something so your body can regulate.
