Anyone else not having regular bowel movements?

Question

I used to go consistently but in the past week or two, I feel Iike I never go. I drink so much water, eat fruits and veggies as well as high fibre foods, I exercise regularly and still.. nothing or very little happens. I also asked my doctor if I can take anything (medamucil) and he said no. I’m so bloated and feel like I need to celebrate every time I have a bowel movement. Tell me I’m not alone lol I’m 6 weeks btw.

Answer

I’m 14w and pooping is out of the picture. I haven’t been able to relieve my stomach in two weeks and I’m so over it lol. I never knew how much I would WANT to go, but here I am. Eating normal and also eating everything that used to make me go but I get nothing lol

Answer

I take daily fiber pills with both pregnancies... Even recommended by my doc. Strange that your doc said no!

Answer

I take colace if I start to get backed up, about once a week or so. Been regular ever since I started doing that.

Answer

I would ask your doctor about metamucil - it might be something specific to you because it's on the okay list for general pregnancy from my doctor and I know tons of others who have the same.

Answer

Yes! I will get so constipated I look like I have a massive pot belly (almost 14 weeks and still not showing yet) and when I finally have a movement it's such a relief! I feel like I can breathe again.
