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 Symptoms - Does anyone have constipation issues?

Does anyone have constipation issues? I have used the diet before and lost 15 pounds but always struggled with constipation issues. Fiber supplements didn't work too well either.

Constipation Symptoms for someone that has had this issue for almost a year, this is the key, #1 problem-solver, at least for me. I have tried a little bit of everything, and nothing consistently works. If you can find (or order from Amazon, it is by far the cheapest...around $0.60/oz) Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. This stuff is awesome, tastes awesome (some are REALLY bland), and will lube up your intestinal track. I drink two cups of coffee, each cup has 1 tablespoon of c-oil in it, and it keeps the system moving. C-oil also has a lot of other health benefits with it as well. It may be best to start out slowly with the coconut oil, maybe 1/2 teaspoon to start, then increasing the amount if needed.

As someone who deals with this in my family (mom, kiddo) - make sure you are drinking plenty of water, you need to have that excess water available for your intestinal function. Try to make sure your fiber intake is 20ish grams per day or more. Try Mission Carb Balance Wraps - 6g net carbs, 26g fiber and they are delicious.



I cant go no for like a week at a time till gets painful and laxatives have to take over. Had to resort to this twice in the last 4 weeks. Can't find anything to keep me regular, tried larger amounts of fiber in my diet, as well regularly drinking about 90 oz of water a day. I really need to find a solution to this constipation symptoms.


For me, it is Psyllium Husks...I sprinkle them on my greek yoghurt with extra double cream as the husks will soak up any moisture and make it stodgy! With the cream, it adds a certain richness and the husks give it a lovely nutty flavour. I did try and swallow them down with water before but this is an excellent way of taking them. I just buy mine at the local health constipation symptoms store... very cheap.  [Read More]
