Buy a laxative from your local drugstore or supermarket. They even come in chocolate flavored, lol. I think eating fruits may help too.


I dont know if you are preggy... But if you are, I dont know if you can take laxatives...?

Yeah i'm pregnant, and i'm not supposed to take laxatives, I eat soo much fruit its ridiculous, i'm gonna just tell my doc.

Did you try prunes or cranberry juice??

Thats what I started taking when I had constipation in my second trimester...

I heard walking can help loosen your stool.... Hey, its worth a shot, right?! Lol

Walking works or maybe it was the warm water, anyway they work together just fine. Lol thanks everyone

One other thing, don't hang on for as long as possible.
When you feel the need *go* else things can become compacted and difficult.

I had this problem about a month ago. It sucked so bad. I wound up really big and bloated cause I would go for days without going. I asked my doctor and here is what he told me....

Drink a lot of water. More than usual

eat leafy green veggies

take metamucil...This helped me so much. I bought the capsules which are kind of expensive, but when you are in that pain...You want whatever will make you go.


I took metamucil for a few days and I found that and water did the trick. Good luck!
