Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Contact your obstetrician or visit an urgent care clinic promptly. Having severe bloating, no bowel movement for three days, and a lack of response to both oral laxatives and rectal suppositories requires an in-person medical evaluation to rule out fecal impaction or a bowel obstruction.

Constipation like this is common in pregnancy, but not responding to a laxative and an enema for 3 days needs a doctor's review in person.
Next Steps
Please see your obstetrician today or tomorrow rather than trying more medicines on your own, so they can examine you and suggest what's safe next.
Health Tips
If there is fever, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain, please treat it as urgent and go in right away.
