Someone help me 😩 I haven’t pooped in days. I’m 31 weeks pregnant so I’m already in pain and uncomfortable everyday. Now I’m extra bloated and the back pain from gas is insane. I’ve taken laxatives, even tried laxatives with coffee this morning. Given myself enemas, done the soap and water thing. I’m literally so freaking miserable.

I have to take MiraLAX every other day and colace everyday. When I sit on the toilet my legs are always up. I also have switched to wipes. Coffee helped me before getting pregnant but nothing now. Try MiraLAX in half water half prune juice that is a natural laxative as well. But you have to keep up with the MiraLAX not just when it gets bad.

What Alex said. Daily magnesium helps too. At this point you may need to go to the hospital for help and then start a daily regimen of laxatives.

My doctor recommended Miralax as well. I take it once a day but doctor approved twice a day if bad. Helps a lot of taken regularly. Also lots of water!

Miralax. But take the high dose recommendation on the packaging. Be sure to drink it with the recommended amount of water. The way Miralax works is by pooling water in to the intestines and colon. You need the water for it to work to it's full potential. Take it daily until you start to go regularly again, then you can probably pull back on how often. I recommend mixing it with an electrolyte drink.
