FTM 13+6. After a grueling almost week of no BM, it FINALLY happened. I was about two hours away from giving myself an enema for the first time.

Now I will say I hadn’t really tried much to get things moving the first few days. I’ve noticed I’ll go a couple days without movement then be fine again. Once I started trying interventions, it took two days:

Day 1:
Prune juice
Smoothie with yogurt
Benefiber x3
Pregnancy yoga for constipation twice in a row
2 stool softeners
Metamucil

Day 2:
Warm peppermint tea on empty stomach
1 stool softener
Metamucil
Iced coffee
Prune juice
Lots of moving around and deep squats

Moving forward I’ll be taking stool softeners everyday for a while. Yikes that was not fun.
