Constipation/hemorrhoids

My doc told me I should start taking stool softeners so I bought colace.

Has anyone taken this before? How many did u take? (I only took one)

I haven't used them during pregnancy, but I have used them in the past. In my experience, you want to try to take as few as possible. It may take a while for it to kick in. I used to just take one before bed. Make sure to drink lots of water and juice, and up your fiber intake. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, etc

My prenatal has 50 mg of stool softner in it and I was told I could take 1 colAce a day on top of that. Lots and lots of water with it and it should really help!

I've upped plums and raisins in my diet along with other dried fruit. So far it's doing the trick. I was going every 3-5 days, but now it's at least every other day if not daily.

Hopefully you'll get some relief soon
