I’m about at my wits end.

I’m 23w.

I haven’t gone in 3.5 days. (

This is not normal for me)

It’s currently Monday night - I last went Midday on Friday. I went to the ER at 3am Saturday morning for excruciating pain on my Right side that I’ve had since Thursday. They checked for Kidney stones and infection but apparently that’s all fine and negative. Urine apparently normal, blood work normal. So I get discharged for Round Ligament Pain.

Couldn’t sleep AGAIN last night because of major pain on same right side. Went to OB office today but saw different provider as my regulars are not in on Mondays. Told her tried everything (with Milk of Magnesium though we did baby 15mL to start as first time trying that). She was absolutely confident that MoM will work just take more - 30 mL after another hour and 30mL when get back home, plus Miralax daily.

I asked her, “what happens if the MoM doesn’t work?”

Her response? “oh you’ll be fine, it makes post-ops patients go.”

Wellll guess what, Doc?? Almost 7 hours later and STILL NOTHING OUT. I do feel that there was some internal pressure relief as I was able to finally get a nap in. But nothing has come out and almost like clockwork, my side pain is back again and back pain 🙃

Taking Miralax now... I have tried *nearly* everything I can think of, but bowels won’t release I want to cry!!

Im so frustrated. I’m so exhausted. I’m so uncomfortable. I’m in pain.

And now I’m looking at another sleepless night ahead of me, and I have training to get back to tomorrow.

I know many experience constipation, but have any of you ladies experienced a similar situation like mine? If so, what helped you? Was there something more going on? (I feel like there is at this point if I am *this* backed up)
