    I've been adding fiber powder to my juice and tea. It doesn't have a flavor, but it makes me feel old. lol There is always prune juice or plum juice. I bought some plum juice with extra fiber the other day and it's not too bad.

    Try colace. It's a stool softener.. I've had constipation issues the whole time and they worked for me.

  • futuremrsrowlsonfuturemrsrowlson
    No problem.. believe me I was asking everyone too lol. And its not a laxitive so its not gonna give you the explosive craps... I take iron too and it bound me up as well.. good luck

    Prunes..and they have modern ones too with cherry or orange flavors they r wonderful, eat more salads, add some beans anywhere u can in recipes, and drink tons of water. This advice is half the nurse in me and half the preggo w the same problem : )
  • baby2dec14yayybaby2dec14yayy
    i eat two salads everyday because of the strict diet that im on for this pregnancy i have to eat 8 small meals a day and no snacking!!! but its for the best because the doc said that i have a higher chance of getting gestational diabetes this time around because i gained too much wait with my first and didnt lose any of it before i got pregnant again 6 months later!! but i did go and get more fruit, i talked to my doc this morning and he said that i can "snack" on fruit in between meals but nothing else lol thank you all for all of your help!
