Questions

The doc put me on Benifiber to help with the constipation, he said it is very safe to take evryday. I have forgotten if im just to take it once a day or follow the directions on the bottle and take it 3 times a day? Anyone else taking this or Metamucil?
Also, Baby A (boy) was my mover , kicking all the time , and baby B (girl ) hardley at all. Now since the u/s on Monday it seems to have reversed, Baby A not so much moving and Baby B is moving alot, anyone elses twins change it up? I have one on each side. Anyways, just wondering.

I took it according to the package directions. My dr. also okayed Colace.
Some days baby A moves more and the next time it seems like baby B is trying to take my rib cage out. I guess it just depends on the moods they are in.

 

Angel,

Don't know about the fiber, but my babies are doing the same thing. If I didn't know better, I would have thought they switched sides!

 

I have one on each side, too. I feel baby A way more, though. I have an anterior placenta with baby B, so I just don't really feel him at all. During our u/s, he is always moving just as much as she is; I just don't feel him. It is so frustrating.

 

is it weird that I'm not constipated at all????

 

My babies trade off on who's going to be the big mover each week. Sometimes Baby A is all wiggles and Baby B is really calm and then they switch. It's kinda fun to think that they're already working together to drive me crazy!

As for the constipation, my docs have me taking Peri-Colace. I was taking two at a time in the evening and when that didn't work, I took two in the morning and two in the evening 'til things got moving. It's super gentle just like colace but with a bit of a stimulant. It is hard to find here though and definitely more expensive than regular Colace. I ran out last week and have been trying to use the Colace, but I'm ready to get my real pills back now!
