Painful Defecation: This should be discussed with your ob. Constipation during pregnancy is not uncommon. Modification in diet, increased fluid intake if appropriate and use of a stool softener may resolve the problem.

Constipation: Very common in pregnancy to have constipation. Drink lots of water and increase your fiber intake. Also, MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) should be safe to use.
