Milk of magnesia and colace

Works for me, but don't forget softeners are not laxatives

I take a probiotic.

Have been taking colace and fiber supplements almost every day since second trimester. If I don't I get really hard poops!

There's an organic herbal tea I buy at my local grocery called Smooth Move. I drink it at night before bed and by morning I'll have a BM. Works great!
