I can talk about sex, body issues, body parts, anything...but for some reason, saying the word "constipated" embarrasses me.
Luckily, my crazy openness doesn't prevent me from talking to everyone at work about it, and I've gotten some suggestions, but it's all failing.
So far today, I've had:
* A Fiber One bar
* apple juice
* a blueberry muffin
* a teeny tiny cup of coffee
* tons of water
* a great big salad
* a large helping of pineapple
* a cup of tea
....and nothin'.
I didn't have this issue with L. I didn't even have this issue after giving birth! And I don't know what in the world to do about it. It's so bad that I was up in the middle of the night last night. I didn't know that...digestive issues...resulted in pain, discomfort, crabbiness, and nausea. I feel like...well, poop.
Did I really just dedicate an entire post to bowel movements...or the lack thereof? Yeah. I think I did.
Oh! I also think I might have possibly felt the baby move today! (And no, it wasn't gas...it was waaaay down low and felt like a little flutter.) I am only about 14.5 weeks, but I have heard that you can feel it about now, especially if you are petite and on your second pregnancy. Maybe constipation makes it easier too? No? Hmmm. I'll figure out something positive about it before long...I hope!
