What I message my husband at 3am. Any advice for severe constipation?

Question

Answer

My doctor wouldn't let me take Miralax during my pregnancy. I had to take a teaspoon of mineral oil everyday. It helps.

Answer

The ob nurse told me to use milk of magnesia

Answer

Try apple juice and take a probiotic regularly

Answer

Water, miralax (1× a day), stool softener (1 two times a day), and prunes/prune juice. You have to do it until you're regular again, usually 1-2 weeks. Check with your doctor about concerns with medications or side effects. 
No enemas when pregnant, especially in the 1st and 3rd trimesters, and only when under direct orders of your OB.
