Constipation

I put this in another section, and I am not sure if was the right one. Anyways, I went into the ER last night thinking I had a partial obstruction. Turns out I was just constipated, lol.

It's been awhile since I have gone to the bathroom, and was wondering if anyone knew how long it took for it to turn into an actual obstruction?
 
I have made that same trip a couple of times. The pain from being uber-constipated was very much like the pain of a partial obstruction. I feel completely stupid when we figure out that I am just full of shit!!

Thankfully, the doctors and nurses are very supportive and assure me I did the right thing coming into ER.

I have not had the constipation turn into an obstruction, as I work very hard to get things moving. I had to resort to colon prep solution the last time.
 
Yeah; I had a good provider and nurses, and I am also pregnant, so I think I am very hyper sensitive when it comes to my Crohn's right now.

I finally went to the bathroom, but I don't feel like it was everything....
