You can get tucks at walmart, walgreens, any of those places. I dont know about the fiber though

i second the stool softener comment

i took colace during my first 3 pregnacies because i was taken iron for my anemia

Yes but did you take them in the first trimester? I am 4 weeks pregnant. the fissure is from my last pregnancy. My stool actually has been softer the past couple of days since I haven't been taking that vitamin but now I don't know what to do because I need to be taking a vitamin for my pregnancy. Are the stool softeners fiber etc. supposed to cancel the vitamin out? I mean sincethe vitamin is what was making my stool hard will the stool softener make it so it's not and I can still take the vitamin or will the vitamin win?

What are the tucks exactly? Will they help heal the fissure? right now that I'm not taking that vitamin my stool has been softer but I still bleed because my fissure has not healed and I go every single day it's pain!

Hopefully the doctor will be able to prescribe me a vitamin that doesn't make my stool so hard.

A non-medicated suppository can still be taken while pregnant and will not harm the baby as it is locally administered. This just "greases" things up down there and allows the tissue to stretch. This can really aid in the healing.

Before I got pregnant I had horrible stomach issues...I wouldn't go for days sometimes weeks. My Dr. gave me a a Stool Softener and it worked wonders. I know your going everyday, but this will almost always work and make things come a lot easier. You can also buy tasteless Fiber pounder to add to anything you cook. I add it to most of the food I cook for me and my husband. You can get it on the supplement isle at the store and it will be with the fiber supplements. It seems to be working with my current pregnancy. And instead of me taking my horrible prenatal I take Flintstones with Iron they seem to be a little bit easier on the stomach and constipation. Also drink lots and lots of water that can't help make it softer also.

I hope these help.

Thank you all so much for the advice! The non medicated suppositories sound like just what I need. I'm so glad you told me because I wasn't aware they had un medicated. I have been trying to drink as much water as possible. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping he can prescribe me a decent prenatal to take. I really appreciate all the help!!!
