First : First off, i would like to thank you for your service to our country. Because she is pregnant, in pain and is only having a bowel movement twice a week, it is important that she let her obstetrician know. When a woman is pregnant, at most places, they like the OB doctor to be involved in most aspects of care. Take care and welcome back to conus.

She : She really needs to see a doctor right away. Constipation is common in pregnancy but can be serious if not dealt with. She can try stimulants like milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) or an enema but for long term relief she needs to see a doctor. Good luck!
