Question

I’m 38 weeks and all of a sudden feel like I may be constipated. It’s been two days which isn’t how it’s been for me throughout the 3rd trimester.
Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do to get things moving that are safe at this point? I don’t feel like sitting there straining because that’s even more uncomfortable. Lol. This baby just needs to come out like now.

Answer

Idk I’ve been constipated for weeks. Lol. I sit there for awhile. Not straining, not pushing, but eventually it’ll come out. Might take ten minutes and that’s a little annoying but not as annoying as my tummy ache if I don’t lol. I suggest stool softeners and patience. I ate some plums and they cleared me out. Only once but it was nice that one time 😂

Answer

I’m the same! 39 weeks here. Just got some stool softener that’s safe for pregnant women. 
It’s totally normal BTW it’s just our digestive system slowing down.
Drink tons of water, go for walks and eat lots of fibre.

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and I started eating roasted and/or salted pumpkin seeds and let me tell you! It's worked wonders for me! Store bought, snack size with or without shells. It seriously works! Try it!
