kinda need a little help TIA

Maybe TMI but I haven't been pooping well and its starting to make me feel like poop. I drink tons of water and have taken stool softeners. What else can I do I just wanna feel better? Or does it just happen later in pregnancy I'm 28w5d?

Prunes. I buy the ones in individual wrappers and eat a few a day, if i feel like I need it (which is often). They loosen me up without making me sick.

I've had the same problem...I've started eating mini wheats for more fiber. And drinking water. Sometimes I have to take colace.

Try eating a couple of dried prunes or drinking prune juice. You should be able to find the juice in the baby isle.
