ANOTHER Really TMI question-constipation
OK, I know Im gonna sound silly, but I cant see how I can search the web for this 
I had a bad bout of constipation tonight, worse in years and it took a long time ...and well a lot of pushing
And now Im not feeling so good. My lower back and lower stomach are very sore and down there is swollen .
No cramps or anything, and baby is moving around.
BUT..Can I hurt the baby? Or my cervix by pushing so hard? Cause I cant understand why Im all swollen down there.
Thanks and Im embarrased.

Re: ANOTHER Really TMI question-constipation
I doubt you can hurt the baby...you use the same muscles when pushing during labor (which is why some ladies poop during delivery  )
If anything, you might end up with some hemmerhoids. Drink plenty of water, put your feet up, maybe a warm bath will help relax the muscles and relieve the pain and swelling

We are so having the same pregnancy.
Happens to me all of the time and DH tells me "Don't push the baby out yet"
The baby is fine, its another thing that just sucks for us! Lay down and if it gets bad I use a thermacare patch on my lower back.
Oh, I actually think the swelling is differernt. That is what Jenny McCarthy refers to as an "angry vagina" in Belly Laughs

Re: ANOTHER Really TMI question-constipation
Probably not. I have this all the time (I almost passed out on the bowl once). I called Dr H to tell her & I think I am developing an intolerance to my Pre Natals. I ran out last week & the parmacy did not have any to give me until tomorrow, so I went back to my regular multi & added the 1000 mg of folic....and have not had a problem since!

You did not hurt the baby but you could hurt yourself.
ONE WORD... HEMORRHOIDS!!! No straining.
Try to take Colace, high fibers, lot of water.
