[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fiber gummies worked the best for me. I drank tons of water and Apple juice, colace, miralax etc but things didn't really get better till I added fiber gummies. Good luck! And keep up whatever routine works for the first couple of weeks after the baby until you're fully healed. I stupidly stiffed the gummies and colace etc right after the baby was born. BAD idea.[/quote]

OMG thank you for this!!! I had some fiber gummies around noon and I just had my first bowel movement in 5 days that was unaided by a suppository or enema! I still had some difficulty but I feel like things are on the right track. I have the prune juice I plan to drink in a little while, and as of today I've upped my water intake from 8 glasses to hopefully 12 by the end of the day, so hopefully with all these tips I'll be back in business. Thanks again to everyone for all the tips!

And also to the newly pregnant who might be reading this....even if you normally have no trouble with your bowels, I recommend getting all this stuff (the colace, miralax, fiber, suppositories, enemas etc) to just have around and be proactive at the first sign of getting stopped up. I've never had trouble in this area so I think I was in denial a little. I wish I had started taking something the first day I started having difficulty. And drink your water!! [/quote]
