Constipation

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
I know its kinda gross, but I'm having the worst time with constipation. I eat prunes like I like them and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any other natural tips? If something doesn't give soon I'll probably take a stool softener, but I'd like to not have to do that.

  • Drink water and get some exercise every day. Apple juice works well for me. Unfortunately, i still have painful constipation at times, and use stool softeners and occasionally glycerine suppositories. Talk to your dr if you still have trouble.
  • I agree with the above person
  • Kelloggs fiber bars are pretty good and have helped me. First easy poop since I got knocked up. And ive been drinking more juice, with a bottle of water in between cups of juice.
  • Prunes and stool softener worked for me this weekend. I thought I was going die in Target on Sunday the constipation pains were so bad. I had to sit.
  • Plenty of yogurt!
  • My baby won't let me eat yogurt :( I used to eat a cup everyday. Now I almost hurl when I try.
  • Omg thank god im not the only one who can't pool! Lol my first pregnancy I wasn't constipated but with this one im having the worst time going.
  • Omg I'm sooo glad you women aren't afraid to talk about this lol. Helped ALOT
  • Thanks guys! I've tried most of these with the exception of stool softeners and so far no luck. Looks like I'm going to be trying those!

  • Are you taking any drugs to help with puking? I was, and couldn't poo. I now only take them once in a while and I'm not constipated.
