A little embarrassing but I'm constipated bad. Pregnancy, progesterone supplements & zofran occasionally. I'm drinking plenty of water because I can't stand any sweet drinks. I'm very inactive because of the nausea which I know doesn't help. My hubby said to eat an apple because It works for him so I did. (with a little peanut butter, of course!) What else can I do? This usually is never a problem for me. Thanks in advance, you're the greatest!

    Eeeek, I remember pregnancy constipation. Yuck! Start focusing on fiber, both soluble and insoluble as they will help with softening and adding bulk to yout stools. Keep drinking lots of water and walk as much as you can tolerate. Gastric slowing is a normal part of pregnancy, you just have to work with it.

    Try eating more pears, pineapple, peaches, prunes, pinto beans, broccoli and cabbage. These are great sources of fiber.
