I’m so over being pregnant
I’m 36 weeks and CONSTANTLY constipated. I’ve literally tried everything and I can not poop to save my life. My stomach hurts soooo bad. I feel like I’m going to shit myself but then I try to use the bathroom and I’m so backed up that I can’t. Now my freaking butthole feels like it’s turned inside out and there’s so much pressure from my hemorrhoid. I’m so over this 😭 I just want to feel normal again man. I love my babies but I absolutely hate being pregnant. I’m so miserable 😭

Try 2 stool softeners, I was in the same boat
Talk to your doctor and ask for softeners.
Not 100% sure if you can do this while pregnant, but when I was constipated postpartum after my last baby somebody suggested I take Magnesium Citrate! It had been like 4-5 days with no poop and I was suffering so bad 😭 My husband went and bought me this little bottle from CVS, you drink it and then drink like a ton of water right after it (follow the directions on the bottle ofc). It literally flushes you out. HIGHLY recommend it, I'm definitely keeping some on hand for this postpartum too cause WHEW that was a bad time 🫠
My ob had me make 5 measuring cups of an electrolyte drink, then put three full servings of Miralax in it. Drink the whole thing within four hours. I did that every day until things came easily.
I’m 37 weeks and we in the same boat sis. It’s so hard to be so uncomfortable for so long. This is my second and I never wanna do this again.

Elective c-section
I’m FTM and as I approach my due date I’m getting anxious of a vaginal delivery. And thinking of electing a c sec. I know it’s a major surgery but I think vaginal delivery will be quite painful and everytime I think of it I’m traumatised. Would love to get opinion from others who have made this journey…

Low placenta
We had our 20 week scan (21 weeks pregnant) they explained that during the scan they saw a low lying placenta. I’m worried that I might be forced to have a section and we have been advised to avoid sex? We haven’t been very intimate for the last few weeks due to being uncomfortable and a lower sex drive than before however our next scan is November and trying to figure it out?!
