[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First pregnancy, 17 weeks along.  three or four times in the last three weeks I have had these massive movements (like cucumber/zucchini size) which are dense/heavy but when they come there is no waiting to taking a softener. I have been trying to eat more fiber because I had trouble with regular old constipation earlier on, but now it's constipation with these huge ones, hemorrhoids/tears, and misery. I have taken Colace from time to time but don"t want to take it every day and sometimes it doesn't get at it-- I just get soft stools after it.  :(. Worried I'm doing damage and wishing i understood what is happening. I take prunes or prune juice, walk a decent amount at my part time job and running errands, and try to drink plenty of water. Trying not to have any caffeine, but have sipped at tea a few times (thinking caffeine will further dehydrate). Eat veggies and fruit. Should I cut out all cheese? Or solid meat?  Need a genie for the answers or some wishes!! [/quote]

More prune juice.  Just drink a full glass a day.

Failing that keep some plastic knives by your toilet at all times, like PP.

I love this thread![/quote]
