I tried almost EVERYTHING and nothing worked so i just accepted going once a week, the pain was unbearable at times. Then at 39 weeks an OB gave me a home enema (microlax) and movicol to do/take as he thought me being so blocked up was why i wasn't progressing. I won't lie the enema was not fun and was so awkward to do but it worked a treat and the movicol caused belly pains but it softened everything and got it moving.
