Constipated

Hi. I’m 27 weeks pregnant and today is the 4th day that I can’t pass stool. I already drink laxative from OTC (Duphalac) yesterday but still got no urge. I tried sitting in the bathroom for 10-15mins but nothing comes out :( Anyone able to manage constipation or I need to go hospital already. Thank u.

u can try taking probiotics pills instead of yakult, and plain greek yogurt, those are not as sweet and can be taken daily. Yogurt helps as Calcium intake too!

      You can try enema at home first. Can buy in Watson/Guardian.
