Hey everyone, I just need advice,

reassurance. Anything at this point. And please be gentle with me. I’m feeling rather broken and fragile.

I’m currently a week away from having our first baby, a sweet little boy. I’ve always had stomach problems-constipated basically since birth, celiac disease, and all of that. Pregnancy had made it worse. Constipated most of the time, and laxatives, and stool softeners just bloating me up. I’ve had to rely quite a bit on enemas, but I’d still go on my own every few days (Id just get pretty uncomfortable in the meantime)

Fast forward to now, I have no urge to go to the bathroom on my own. I’ve tried everything, and I’ll need to go, (stomach bloated, distended and gassy) but I can’t. Then randomly overnight, when I would give in and do an enema, it would be all liquid stool. Not really diarrhea. I’ve seen doctors who thought it was impaction, so they tried all these different things. Nothing has worked. They can’t run tests right now because of the baby. They had me do a colonoscopy prep to see if that would help, and I think it might have. But I’m still worried there’s something more serious going on.

The GI doctor told me we couldn’t rule out colon cancer, until we did tests. But we can’t do the tests until the baby is born. I want to chalk it all up to pregnancy but I’m scared it’s not. (My lab work didn’t show any abnormalities I should note). Im scared that there’s an obstruction (tumor) and thats why I can’t go and am having the issues I am. I’m only 21. Newly married, and our first baby and I’m so scared of losing that.

Any insight, advice, or comfort would be greatly appreciated.
