[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this problem during my second pregnancy, and I actually posted a PSA on this forum right after because I had a terrible thing happen to me at 38 weeks -- one day it was so big and dense that it wouldn't come out.  I had to go in manually with a glove after having been in the bathroom for 4 hours already.  I had to wear an ice pack in my pants for the next few days because I got so swollen in the front from all the pressure.  It was horrifically painful and truly far more traumatic than the birth (which was at home, so no meds, and still the poop thing was worse).  I highly recommend stool softeners -- they are safe to take during pregnancy and can help make things come out more often and less dense.  I should have been taking them when I had the above happen to me, but had been careless ... then I had pizza a couple days in a row (cheese and white bread...) and that was what caused the impaction.  Fortunately I am not having any constipation issues this time around but at the first sign of it I will be downing those stool softeners because I never want that horrible experience to be repeated![/quote]
