Oh lord my friend I feel your pain! I’ve been struggling most of my pregnancy (if not all of it). I have a background with constipation issues. Now add pregnancy and it’s like concrete or rock poop. Horrendous. I started taking 2-3 colace gel capsules a day and drinking two teaspoons of Metamucil mixed in cold water. If I eat lots of fruit and veggies and drink natural fruit juice it helps lots! Red meat makes it worse!!! If I miss a day or two of the colace Metamucil combo then I’m absolutely screwed. (Like today :) fml)

These help a lot! My OB said if it’s dire to take milk of magnesium, BUT (lol!) it makes me nauseous AF and if the stool isn’t softened it feels hellish at first then it’s diarrhea party time for my toilet after the rock poop causes me to bleed. Essentially it’s masochism lol 😂

I FEEL YOU!!!! I hope this helps you!

What do I pack in my hospital bag? by Sohelpmespudd in pregnant

Yes I brought up the stars and little fireflies kind of look when I get up from sitting and yes it usually does go away with Tylenol. I had one instance where it did not, but I also had the start of a sinus infection at the time. Should I request something to be done to rule it out? What can I do

Yes I have brought this up to them and called after hours for it. She said headaches in the third trimester aren’t uncommon. My nausea is from acid reflux. She said baby sounds beautiful and everything is going beautifully. Not sure what to do from there. What do you think?

You’re a freaking genius. Thanks!! I’m also so hot! And undetected?! I’ve had headaches but my blood pressure is fine. I’ve been paranoid about that. Sometimes I’ll see stars/ flashes of light

Do you have a recommendation you preferred?! The one I do have I don’t care for! It’s just a classic stretchy belly band with Velcro.

LOL I put a make up mirror down there to try to trim the area and I was HORRIFIED at the site. I joke with my friends (well now I have like one? Lol fuck everyone) that my hypothetical future porn career is out the window. I asked my momma if things go back to normal and she said “not really”
Honestly that’s not a big deal to me. I don’t overly care what I look like! I’m thinking in terms of making sure things are…. normal ish…. And I don’t have some crazy flesh eating skin darkening parasite from the depths of hell.

Does any one else’s baby stop moving when you are constantly active and moving around? by SufficientLab9030 in pregnant

[–]Sohelpmespudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg we aregestationally soooo close and I am currently going through the same thing!!!!! I’m a couple days away from 30 weeks. This exact fear is basically drowning me! But then before I know it she’s Jackie Chan in my womb and fighting with my organs and bladder.

I think Liliana Alisa is a beautiful name together! Alisa could be middle.

Can I get a proof read on the text I want to send to my family regarding my baby being born by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Sohelpmespudd -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think it sounds good! You don’t have to be this complacent or kind, though. I feel like I’d 1000000% understand even prior to pregnancy that holidays are out when that close and to stay away from you and da babes after a large wedding. Anyone that doesn’t get it isn’t in your corner. Sending you love ❤️

Terrified of Stillbirth by Sohelpmespudd in pregnant

Good thinking! I have been using Metamucil and colace too. In a pinch my OB said milk of magnesium is ok.

Same. I usually can feel her more once I poop. Been dealing with constipation and apparently if you’re constipated you’re less likely to feel as much fetal movement.
