PREGNANCY CONSTIPATION

When I was pregnant with my twins I had extreme constipation due to iron tablets and all that pressure down there. No matter how I changed my diets, the laxative or anything the doctor gave me to help I COULDN’T poop. It was hell and even led to me getting a manual decompaction, meaning a lovely doctor put his hand up my butt. I promised I’d NEVER let that horrid situation ever happen again and I found something that worked. It’s really embarrassing but I felt like I should share this in case it helps someone else experience the same hell. I’d buy those syringes made for giving babies medicine and fill it up with olive oil and basically just squirt it up my butt, the lubrication from the oil helped everything move along to the exit. This was quite uncomfortable but no where near as uncomfortable as not being able to poop for a week. Anyway, that’s my confession, maybe give it a try if you’re as desperate as I was. Good luck ladies.
