Tmi... Constipation

[Emalee132]

is it safe to use suppositories? I'm 39 weeks pregnant today and I haven't pooped in 2 days, which isn't too bad but my butt hurts and my back is KILLING me because it's stuck in there /: sorry for the tmi. I'm just miserable and I don't want to wait for miralax or fiber to work into my system

I've never taken ducolax so I'm not sure. What does it say on the package they come in?

I take the over the counter laxatives little tiny orange pills help. I'm in the same situation.

Are ducolax glycerin? Those are what I currently have at my house!

Yup just ask the pharmacist to show you which ones. I was constipated after giving birth and I was worried about what I could take because I didn't want it to get passed to my baby through breastfeeding and the pharmacist recommended a glycerin supposatory because he said it won't get absorbed into my system. It basically acts as a stool softener and a lubricant. You can also take a stool softener orally that's a gel capsule. Ask the pharmacist about those too!

And that's safe?

Try a glycerin supposatory.
