How do I get rid of it? I am feeling desperate. I haven't gone for over a week now, and I am in pain and crying and miserable. I just want to heal and enjoy my baby. 
I've tried stool softeners, double stool softeners, prune juice, milk of magnesia, miralax, suppositories, mineral oil enemas and saline enemas - nothing has worked. I've cut out my pain meds, iron, and processed foods and increased my fiber.
My doctor's last suggestion came late Friday - the enemas. When those didn't work, I pretty much had a breakdown and sobbed. He won't be available again until Monday!
Any ideas???

Did you use a fleet style enema or an enema bag? I think A LOT of warm water in a bag ,taken very slowly, laying on your left side is the way to go. Then turn onto your back when all the water is in (this part can be very uncomfortable) and hold it for 10 min or as long as you can. If this doesn't work, keep doing it a few times before you give up. try getting up and walking around, sort of jostle it around if you can. Sounds crazy. I am so sorry you are so backed up, I've been there and it's awful. I couldn't find the hugs smilie but I'm sending you some.
