Gas/ Constipation pains!

[BBsMommy2Be]

My stomach has been killing me lately. I feel like I have to pass gas, but nothing comes out. Burping doesn't help, and having a bowel movement is rare enough. How do I get some relief? my poor baby boy is running out of room in there.

Suggestions and advice are highly appreciated.

I think this is by far the most uncomfortable aspect of pregnancy. Colace has worked some for me...but I'm still looking for something magical that will make me go once a day again. I feel your pain!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and started drinking a lot more water and eating a lot cleaner, mainly salads and high protein etc which I found helped with my bowel movements... however increasing my water intake for some reason makes me stomach seem to bloat in the late afternoon/evening to the point its really uncomfortable. I honestly don't know which is the lesser of two evils!

Only thing that makes me go is getting up and having a cold drink straight away then just sitting still for like 15/20 mins and wait for it to happen

I just had a doctor's appointment yesterday and she suggested colace and Metamucil and drinking a gallon of water a day. I am awake right now because the constipation is making me uncomfortable. It hurts and sucks and I would love to get it under control..
