its never tmi! i always lurk and i am not preggo but i have ibs and deal with constipation all the time...and i have had that happened to me b4.. its most likely broken blood vessels from um pushing so hard and straining to go (sorry for those that think that is tmi LOL)... i think u should maybe fiber up or drink coffeee--a laxative (if u can drink a cup while preggo to make u go so ur not straining so much) goodluck! being constipated *****!!! lol

Take Fiber Choice pills (I swear, I should be getting paid by this company because I always recommend them). They come in fruit flavors, are chewable and they WORK! I had to take iron pills and got extremely constipated they I took these pills in the morning every day. They really help.

I feel your pain!

Very normal. Try some high fiber cereals and greens. Also Daily Colace works great....

Re: way tmi i cant bvleive i am asking this....

Its a common symptom of pregnancy - i suffered from it in the beginning of the pregnancy - and I occasionally took Colace Pills or drank Metamucil - it helped and gave me relief.

Luckily - now that im towards the end of my pregnancy - im running to the bathroom constantly and haven't suffered from constipation since - i guess its from the pressure of the baby down below - so it does get better.

Try the colace - its a bit expensive, but its recommended by doctors and so worth it.

Re: way tmi i cant bvleive i am asking this....

I was also suffering with this and took the colace once a day and drank a little prune juice in the am and pm. I have also started eating raisin bran for breakfast which is definitely helping because it's got so much fiber.
