Pregnant and constipated

Answered 4 years ago

So I'm about 8 weeks pregnant and struggling to open my bowels. Doctor put me on coloxyl. I went yesterday but just hard little balls, I know there is more there I feel so yuck but I can't get it out. I took 2 more coloxyl last night, do I take 2 more this morning? I've never dealt with this before and can't get into my doc for 2 more days. Any help would be great. I've been drinking alot with the coloxyl and tried pear/Prune etc all the things that Google recommends

Have an answer?

My sister-in-law had to get an enema like every 2 weeks. I thought it was funny till I had to have one too 😳. Pregnancy is the worst lol. Good luck, I hope you find relief soon

I used Benefiber (metamucil is similar but I have a bad reaction to it). It takes a couple of days, though. It really helped. I took it before breakfast & once it worked..... It did so quickly!

Movicol was recommended as well but it didn't work for me.
