Hurtful Constipation

I was told by a doctor to increase my fibre, like Weetabix etc, drink more water and eat two kiwis a day, also go to the pharmacy for something to make the stool softer to help to go but don't force yourself, I think to help also have a warm bath and they say to use a stool when going to the loo to get into the squat position, I hope this helps

I had constipation about halfway through my second pregnancy. I tried a lot of things with no relief. Then I started taking Miralax (doctor’s recommendation), and the problem completely resolved. I used it for the remainder of my pregnancy. It doesn’t cause any cramping or running to the bathroom, and you don’t get reliant on it.
