tips on hemorrhoids and constipation i am very uncomfortable!?
ok ladies i am 12 or 13 wks im confused on that but anyway fro about five days i haven't gone # 2 much, i have been taking stool softners daily which are also in my pre-natels, drinking more fluid in a day then i think i usually do in a week, warm applejuice at night, rasin bran and nothing doing i now have a hemmorhoid flare up on top of it from straing ( which also has not helped lol) i am very uncomfortable adn dont know what else to . I really dont want to do an enema because of my flare up, i am aware of prunes and prune juice but yuk and double yuk. Please help on both topics!!!!!!
ladies please read the whole question there was more then just constipation a problem and most of your suggestions i have tried so please read all information given before you answer i think at this point a call to the doctor may be what is necessarily this is now the sixth day i appreciate your help but i would more appreciate it if you read the entire question a little annoyed this morning my sincere apologies
in my opinion there is no best answer since none of you answered the question completely or bothered to read the whole question
I have been constipated most of my pregnancy. I never ever try to force it out. It eventually will come on its own.
I have however found that every single time I eat pasta within 3 hours I get a bowel movement.

Eat cereal with high fiber and flax, take fiber supplements, drink ALOT of water….I know whole grain bread has alot of fiber too. I know berries and apples can help you use the bathroom, but you have to eat quite alot. Hope this can help you. The first answerer, I found pastas helped too.

Honey, take Milk Of Magnesia. It's nasty, but it is safe for use during pregnancy. Also, whether you're constipated or not, take a docusate sodium (Colace) soft gel every night.
Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and try to drink some Metamucil. Trust me. You WILL go.

29 weeks pregnant, and these are things that were approved by my doctor (who is conservative enough to make Rush Limbaugh look like Dennis Rodman).

I know this isn't really recomended but McDonald's always made me have to go when i got pregnant I tried to eat healthy so I cut it out of my diet but when I had the problem I would go and max out on some McDonald's sure enough and hour later I was RUNNING the bathroom. In all honesty prune juice may taste nasty but have one 6-8oz glass ever morning will really ease you. Believe those few seconds it takes to choke it down is alot better then holding it in for so long
good luck.

The one thing that helped me was ditching cheese (save for goat cheese, which is actually _good_ for constipation) and (less of a problem) rice.
Warm applejuice at night? 'Double yuk.' Plus you're not getting all the fibre-y goodness if it's just juice. Eat a cold apple for breakfast…
And hit a bulk store and buy stuff like bran and flax, and dried fruit, and make muesli. Pretty tasty, as that stuff goes.
