Anyone constipated!?

So i just had my doctors appointment and i see the constipated post allll the time so i asked. She said take a dose of miralax(or sinilar, its a stool softner) everyday. And she said when your just starting whiles its really bad you can take a senocot i believe its called, its a laxative, before bed for a couple nights. And then once you found your on track just stick with the miralax. She said you should be having a soft stool every day or every other. Hope thats helpful
