Constipation pregnancy symptom - How I fixed my week 7 constipation

        My newest Constipation pregnancy symptom (week 7 today, tomorrow starts week 8 for me) is the joys of feeling like you need to/are going to poop but then nothing happens… for 3 days, (aka constipation). I did several things today that resulted in the birth of my giant BM. Today was day three without a real BM. I drank some peppermint tea yesterday night and this morning but to no avail. Every time I was went to the bathroom during the day, I was just straining and straining for some relief. When I got home from work I took my dog on his usual walk and by the time I got home I felt the need to BM really badly. I sat down and got frustrated for the next 3-5 minutes. Then I remembered I read something on the internet about how the “seated position” of a toilet can cause constipation pregnancy symptom to be worse and result in undue straining. It also mentioned something about how our ancient ancestors never pooped sitting, they always squatted and therefore we humans evolved to poop while squatting. Being that I live in a city, I don't have some quiet woods to poop in. Then I had an idea! I grabbed the kitchen stool, plopped it in front of the toilet, propped my feet up and wal-la squatting position achieved! Also, biggest dump of my pregnancy (thus far) achieved. Hope this helps!

        I realize many people may be grossed out by this suggestions, but I'm going to share anyway because someone might find it helpful Anal play is a pretty big part of my sex life so I don't have any issues touching my butthole. If you need to poo and can't, use two fingers and massage your butthole gentle and firm the same way you would your clitoris. This should immediately trigger the pooping reflex if you're not used to it. Since I'm used to it, this only triggers poo if I really have to go bad and am constipated. if lube helps a penis or dildo go in-- it will help poo come out. Since it's designed for this as one of it's main purposes, it's safe to apply it to your butthole.

I am 9w today and I feel your pain, literally!

        I was on a cruise last week and if you've ever cruised, you'll know the toilets are a joke. They have no real seat and they're about 6" higher than your average toilet. I ended up having to pull my carry-on luggage into the bathroom and did almost the same thing you did. My husband thought I was insane, but it worked! It's all about leverage!!! At home, I do a "lean back and wiggle hips back and forth" to get some movement going. Also, I drink a glass of prune juice every night. I feel like an 80 year old. [Read More]

Constipation During Pregnancy - What can i take for constipation during pregnancy

Could you be pregnant? Constipation (like, severe constipation) is one of the lesser known pregnancy side effects. I would think the gluten could cause problems, but not problems that would go on this long. Take a magnesium supplement (citrate or bisglycinate) - about 800mg or more a day. That should get things moving again, plus magnesium is an important supplement for many processes of the body, so you need it anyway.

Are you getting enough sleep? For whatever reason, when I don't get enough sleep, I get constipated. Stress can do it too. Another kinda weird thing I do to get things moving when I am chronically under-sleeping is to take a day and eat only fruit and vegetables (and I mean A LOT of fruit and vegetables). That always helps.

I don't think you should cut down on meats & eggs, as you want a variety of protein sources. Eggs in particular are rich in vitamins we tend to be deficient in, such as selenium and chromium. However, do you make sure 50% of your plate is vegetables to go with that protein? That's the general rule of thumb for good health. Do you have leafy greens in your diet? When I don't get enough greens I get super constipated. Hope all my comments on the page helped.

It could definitely be the coffee. It is a laxative. Are you getting enough soluble fiber? Most common source is grains, so you might be taking in less now on Paleo. Here are some paleo foods. Another supplement you might consider is acacia Senegal, sold on the same site. This is probably going to sound like heresy here, but try cutting down on fiber. For me i had the same problem, and basically went on keto/paleo diet and that results in a lot more fiber in my diet. I went from BM every 2 days (pre paleo) to BM 1x per week and painful! After a frustrating month, i did some research, found gutsense.org I cut fiber out completely (except for maybe a cup of mixed greens for breakfeast). Within 2 days i was having painfree BM 1x per day at same time of day! I never had anything like that, even pre paleo. Give it a shot.

Maybe try some probiotics? I've been eating a lot of yogurt and probiotic drinks ... Hasn't been helping. That's probably because commercial yogurt and most probiotic yogurt drinks at the store have realistically, almost no probiotics. Did a bunch of research when I had to take probiotics myself. There are certainly not enough to help your gut. Try making some homemade yogurt !  [Read More]
