Thread: Oh the humiliation! But every cloud has a silver lining...

First of all, congrats on your girl!!

Holy shinikies about the constipation. Let's hope today is a better day for you and far less painful!

Earlier on, when I had first started on the Zofran, I was constipated so badly it hurt to walk. I never did an enema because my OB said no...but man when that first poopie hit after prunes/colace/apple juice/milk/ice cream/fiber one bars... I may have thought my insides were being torn out. (((HUGS))) It gets better!

UGH for Enemas. I hope you can start managing this with diet once the backlog is cleared up. Such a terrible thing to have to go through.

Two enemas later, I'm feeling like a human being again. I have to say this whole thing was more painful than either of my births. I was wishing for an epidural!!!

but it's over. Now I'm on a strict diet of apple juice and milkshakes, I think. I need to ask about a stool softener for awhile so I can heal! Ouch!!!

If you stick to a fairly liquid diet for a while you'll give you bowels and chance to recover. I had a BRUTAL stomach flu thing when we were in Hawaii and after days and days of problems I had to just cut back to things like broth, juice, jello, etc to give my bowels a break. Then when I slowly added food back in, it was fine.
