Constipation?

I'm not really constipated. I've posted a thread like this before. I just go every 4-5 days. Well its got to a point where on the 4th/5th day I go and it REALLY hurts. Sometimes it even bleeds? I'm pretty sure that's because there's so much of it.. Oh god Majorly embarissed. I was just wondering whether to see a doctor or to just grin and bare it as another one of those pregnancy joys?

Went through that phase too, but eating lots of food rich in fibers + lots of water really helped a lot. I know some girls mentioned metamucil helped too.

Now I go 3-4 times a day... Guess the body is getting ready.

Pregnancy makes us really constipated. I had a phase like that as well but just like Jess I'm starting to go more as baby gets closer to coming out.

Thanks guysss

Don't worry about that, once you hit 33/34 weeks you'll be going ALL the time.

I already go twice a day, good lord, what is going to happen when I get closer. Will I even be able to leave the bathroom.....

I go 2-3 times a day, courtesy of my latest strawberry, cauliflower and cucumber (all at the same time) craving!!

Fiber Fiber Fiber! Eat lots of it.

I haven't had much problem with constipation at all during pregnancy except for a week or so at the beginning. I seem to go a lot more often than usual.

I hope it gets better for you! Constipation is not comfortable.
