My doctor said he'd get me Colace, but when I picked up the meds, the bottle said Sulfak. I'm having a hard time swallowing pills, but when I have gotten it down, it hasn't helped me at all. I find it really did help after the baby was born, in my previous pregs.
I haven't pooped naturally since I got pregnant this time. I don't remember having this problem previously. I was in the ER 10 days ago for intense stomach cramps, and they gave me an edema. It was such a horrible experience. I then tried a suppository over the weekend. I haven't gone since. It's possibly related to the Zophran, but at least I'm functioning. I didn't have Zophran my other pregs and I couldn't function at all.
I was in the ER for an IV last week for dehydration. They gave me Reglan in my IV. It was my worst experience yet. I was jittery and anxious all over. It was horrible b/c I was in the hospital bed, hooked up to the IV, and I couldn't go anywhere, but my body didn't want to stay still. After about 1 1/2 hr of that, they gave me Benedryl to counteract the Reglan. I was still vomiting at that point, so I was given a Phenergan suppository. My first 2 pregs, Phenergan and IV's was all I had. I felt that all Phenergan did was make me sleep - at least I wasn't vomiting while I slept - but I still wasn't functioning, so I've been trying to stay away from Phenergan this time.
For now, I'm just getting through one-day-at-a-time. At least I have a resource w/others who are going through the same thing. I was really lost during my other preg.
