how long is too long???

Question

I'm 13 weeks pregnant now and I haven't gone #2 in about 5 days..should I be worried? I just dont have the feeling to go or anything should i start taking stool softeners now? I see my Dr. tomorrow but I also have a list of stool softeners I can take but what's the best in yalls opinion?

Answer

If you don’t feel discomfort then just bring it up to your doctor. You can always try drinking some prune juice (elderly people swear by this) increase your fiber intake and do some light exercise. If you’re not feeling the urge or discomfort then you shouldn’t worry too much as all that stuff slows down while pregnant.

Answer

Your poop slows down when you’re pregnant so that your body and babies can absorb more nutrients from it ..try some home remedies like a little coffee, warm lemon water, prune juice etc then maybe shoot your doctor a call.
