I think I need to "go" (TMI)

I can't remember the last time I went #2 and maybe that is what is making me feel awful still from last night.

Any suggestions on how to make myself go?

I am having oatmeal for breakfast

help!

I have the same issue.

Eat lots and lots of fiber, should loosen you up a bit to let it come out.

Or have a little coffee/tea, caffeine seems to be a laxative for me.

Feel better!

Total Raisin Bran. Trust me on that one!

Dried Fruit always does it for me (apricots, plums, etc)! Hope you feel better soon!

I am having the OPPOSITE problem!

A good cereal always works for me.

Cracklin Oat Bran
Raisin Bran
Grape Nuts

Please listen to the ladies...I was so constipated I ended up in the hospital about a month ago, and guess what i needed a enema my dr told me to take metamucil I do but not every day I eat tons of prunes and alot of water ! Good luck oh and warm water with lemon also helps

My doc told me to take Senokot and drink lots of water.

A bowl of raisin bran usually does the trick for me. Good luck!

I learned a secret from my sister...she works w/ babies and says she gives them apple juice when they are backed up. I tried it, and it works! I also helped out a PG co-worker w/ that advice and it worked for her too...she called me from home as soon as she "felt better" to tell me how much she loved me.

don't worry - that was me at first too! after taking pre-natals for a while though it should help.

I had the same issue and had to take some colace.

I told my doctor about my problem and she swithed my prenatal to one with a stool softner. Since then, I've had no problems!

Grape Nuts and Total cereal always works for me. Oatmeal is good too so I hope that does the trick for you.

Re: I think I need to "go" (TMI)

Plum juice - it's better (at least in my mind) than prune juice.
Fiber One cereal every morning.
I also took Colace when it was really bad.

Re: I think I need to "go" (TMI)

I take fiber con every night.

Add flax seed to my oatmeal

Tons of water

Apples

Dried Fruits

Split Pea Soup
