Constipation help

Sara • 1st baby due 7/31/19 ❤️

So I’ve been pretty constipated the last week, I think it’s been about 5 days since I’ve gone 😩. Anyway my husband bought one of those squatty potty’s and I used it yesterday while taking deep breaths I was able to “squeeze one out” 😭😭😭 Hallelujah!!!!

I have to do something like this too! I’ll bring a stool or chair in to lift my legs up and it’s helps. My doctor told me to eat more fiber!

Try prunes or prune juice. Also get on stool softeners (not laxatives). You don’t want to strain as that causes harm to the lower bowels. You want to keep things moving since your hormones have changed so much. Progesterone slows down your GI. So don’t eat large meals, just snack throughout the day.
