I think with pregnancy all dignity goes out the window and suddenly all you can talk/think about it gas, poop, burping, farting, etc. The things that *used* to be forbidden topics. At any rate, I'm so glad your pregnancy is progressing well...that's the most important part!!newbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779719410948226318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-21026310608879988462012-04-21T22:07:21.839-04:002012-04-21T22:07:21.839-04:00Ha Ha, I love it!

I feel like after having 5 pregnancies I still have these issues. It used to be that I could help things along by drinking my diet dr. pepper and all would be good...not the case anymore. I'm totally a Fiber junkie now, I also clip coupons for things like Fiber One cereal and Metamucil...I am an 85 year old trapped in a 30 year old's body.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416470870318553268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-86712085840161847082012-04-20T23:31:41.160-04:002012-04-20T23:31:41.160-04:00ok, here is a fun one... you have the total urge t...ok, here is a fun one... you have the total urge to go, you go.. its hard and painful and you're sweating and it kinda comes out, but basically wants to go back in so you are stuck in an in between phase.. that unfortunately was my pregnancy constipation. Ugh. if it's any consolation.. once you hit the 3rd Trimester, it should go away. Mine did and I was more than regular until the end.. I think your body starts "cleansing" to get ready to have the baby. :-) And you are right, the unsavory things are the most fun to talk about.. just wait until the topic is "Baby Poop.. What Colors are Normal?" :-)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734686395613514771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-26657869780214390782012-04-20T10:34:04.218-04:002012-04-20T10:34:04.218-04:00I'm one of those who regularly struggle with t...I'm one of those who regularly struggle with this also when not pregnant. So I'm so used to it, it's less of a big deal for me - even if it's worse now during pregnancy than normally. Luckily though it's mostly type 2 in your description. Water however has never really helped me - I always drink loads of it. Magnesium tablets on the other hand does help me.

Whenever I had an ailment during pregnancy my midwife would always tell me, only delivering your baby will fix this! Until the, lactulose!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968663429289065559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-56440220072733521172012-04-19T22:07:19.668-04:002012-04-19T22:07:19.668-04:00This is good practice for when that baby comes...b...This is good practice for when that baby comes...because then your life and conversation will totally be consumed with poop. Complete strangers will ask you about your child's bowel movements or bring up their child's and it won't even phase you. Then your child will get constipated and you'll end up sticking a Q-tip, or worse, your finger, up their little butt while they're screaming to get that ouchie turd out.<br /><br />Best of luck to you!!Beck Baby Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695707816140635596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-91578851911614832212012-04-19T20:38:11.450-04:002012-04-19T20:38:11.450-04:00POOP!!!

Hubs has the problem you speak of where he needs to go, but only a little comes out, and it's hard and painful, although he really feels the urge to go. He has found a natural solution to this problem which you can try (or not try!) BUT--it has worked wonders for him. It's called Squat Pooing. You can google it on the internet. It takes the philosophy of a lot of Asian cultures who squat when pooing and have a much lower rate of colon cancer. There are stools you can buy to go on either side of the toilet to raise you up to squat level, or you can do what my Hubs does (which I have told him I never EVER want to see). He lifts the toilet seat that us girls sit on, and squats directly on the toilet bowl itself. (This requires him to wipe down the bowl every time he squats since it's also prone to get pee on it from his poor aim). This position has basically cleared up his problem completely.

Luckily it's coming in waves these days and the 2-3 pieces of fruit that baby girl seems to want has been helping. I hope your feel better!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535950941067164492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-18269566120306139632012-04-19T17:17:23.847-04:002012-04-19T17:17:23.847-04:00I'm sorry, but this post made me laugh.

I'm also having a hard time drinking enough, which I know is adding to the problem but I was never a big liquid consumer and now for some reason it's even harder.
