Crying Over Crap

Changes on the body can sure be a pain in the butt, literally! I don't usually experience this problem until right after giving birth, but for some reason I get to experience it early and WOW it sure has been painfully unpleasant! It's funny sometimes the things we take for granted. I found myself in tears the other day because everyone else seemed to have no problem doing the very thing I couldn't do.....poop! I've tried laxatives, stool softeners, fruits & veggies, extra fiber foods, etc..... NOTHING seems to work. I am a walking preggo lady who is officially physically and emotionally constipated. Any new ideas that I haven't listed yet would be great! What worked for you?
