Common Questions and Answers about Coffee enema for constipation
coffee
Chocolate milk makes me go too.
I have IBS, general pregnancy constipation and constipation as a side effect from the medication I am on for my Hyperemesis. I'm 38 weeks and this has been an issue my entire pregnancy. I've tried it ALL and nothing worked. I was even rushed to the hospital after not being able to go for 14 DAYS!!! Per the doctor and my home care nurse, I have to give myself an enema every 3 days and that's been Heaven sent. It's a Fleet Saline Enema and it's safe!
My doctor prescribed me pills to help with constipation. You can try enema too. I'm dealing with lots and lots of constipation this pregnancy.
Oh my!that is terrible:(I would get a second opinion from another doctor!that can't be good for you or baby..maybe visit the ER and see what they can do for you..poor thing I know your probably so uncomfortable!prayers going your way!
A good cup of dark roast coffee always helps me. And don't feel weird asking those kids of questions here...luckily were all in the same boat and many of us have experienced constipation at one point or another during pregnancy...along will all the other gross stuff lol. Try coffee hopefully it helps. I know when I get constipated in get horrible pains in my belly so I will do anything to get things moving. Keep fruits in your diet to help keep it at a minimum. Good luck!!
Call your doctor and get specific stuff they recommend ever doctor is different. I am 35 weeks tomorrow and have been extremely constipated my whole pregnancy! I was crying and miserable and finally called my doctor. She had said I could use coach but before you use that start with Miralax it will break it up and soften it once your stools are regular then take colace. She also told me to use a fleet enema because I hadn't went for 2.5 weeks!
agree with greg another thing to try would be a enema, if that doesnt work ask your doctor if it would be safe for you to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate its what they have most people buy ( its cheap like 2 dollers over the counter) to drink before surgery it wil definatley clean out your intestines,,,if all this doesnt work you may have a fecal impaction , which does require medical care, usually a didgital manipulation of the stool to get things started.
Thanks ladies. I drink coffee occasionally and have everyday for the last 3 days and nothing. I'll look into the apple and prune juice but I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes about 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure if I can drink those. I drink as much water as I can handle everyday and walk my kids to school which is murder on my back so that's about all of that I can handle. I will look into things I appreciate it.
I have to take 3 stool softeners a day, fiber pills 3 times a day, and sometimes I eat yogurt or drink coffee for an extra push. It is embarrassing though. My last pregnancy I was so bad that I was stuck in the bathroom for 7 hours and I'll never forget it BC it was on mothers day. My husband ended up having to run to the store and come back and gave me an enema.
Hello ~ First timer, due June 14th so 8 weeks tomorrow. I've had crazy constipation since the beginning, along with other annoying symptoms, and I've had my first appointment last week (sadly, they said they weren't doing an ultrasound that day). The nurse suggested Colace, which I've been on for the past couple days. I've increased my fiber and water intake a lot from the beginning. I have a big belly but I'm pretty sure it's just a bunch of crap (pardon the pun).
A large cup of coffee does it for me but if you're a regular coffee drinker it might not help. Sorry that is the worst but it'll pass.
Have you tried any home remedies for your constipation? You could drink coffee, prune juice or apple juice to help loosen it up. Best thing to do is go buy a fiber mix & it'll help you go. If you're that backed up though I would recommend getting some medical attention before it becomes dangerous for you and baby.

Not to the hospital but yes I have... I gave myself an enema after about 3 days because I knew what was happening as I've seen patients go through it. I developed a terrible hemmroid after (12 weeks) and they put me on extra iron for anemia at 29 weeks and my constipation came back and now I have a second one...
