I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and constipation is really beginning to hurt. . . not to mention that the hemorrhoids are killing me as well. I’m just in an awkward way and I want relief. I’ve changed my diet. I’ve added fiber. This has been going on for about three weeks now. When I ask my OB about it she just keeps telling me to change my diet and she gave me cream for the hemorrhoids. I asked about stool softeners and she didn’t really say anything. Do you ladies know if its safe to take any and if so what’s the best kind to get?
Fiber in foods, not Metamucil because I can’t stomach that.
Thanks for the tips.

Hi there! I was constipated for a few days which isn’t anything really new with me, but with the pregnancy it’s been a little worse. I’m 26 weeks 4 days along. And when I do have the urge to go #2 I have to strain myself pretty much to go and I believe that is what caused my hemorrhoid… Lovely. I swear it’s one thing after another with this pregnancy, lol. But I want to know if I can use preparation h just on the outside. I have to wait for my clinic to open yet but need some relief. I’ve been taking metamucil 2 times a day to help me pass my bowels easier, but nothing really and bought Fiber One cereal yesterday and start eating that. I know that use to help me but we’ll see if it will with being pregnant. If you have any other ideas that would be great. Thank you so much and sorry for TMI.

At present I have a chronic problem with diarrhea, close to a year, I can"t tell you all the meds. I"ve taken……..to no avail, it always returns, no temp and no pain. At the same time I have fissures, no hemorrhoids. Had a little surgery to spincter muscle with immediate relief for a number of weeks. I ask in a most respectful way…whats the cure. Will metamucil help me. Be a hero …. save me. Thanks. Problem is back. Pain, pain.

I have a really big one that appeared last night. I have applied prep h this morning, been drinking water, eating and raisin bran. I will take some metamucil fiber later on today. It’s pretty inflammed right now though, and very very uncomfortable. What else can I do? Should I just leave it alone and wait for the swelling to go down? This is embarassing…please help!
