Constipation and pregnancy HELP

Ca

It seems like no matter what I do, eat, or laxative I take I cannot poop more than once a week if I'm lucky. I know it's TMI but I'm 15 weeks now and I'm having stomach pain from it and I really need some advice! I have talked to my doctor but they just keep telling me different things I can take or try and I'm like I've already done that! So frustrating

Mine was sooo bad with my 2nd. Pregnancy that I had to start using an anemia about once a week. :/ it's gross and uncomfortable, but it works!! Then after you get that blocking out I would then try to use more if the fiber rich foods, and TONS of water. I'm no professional at all, but I think you need to remove the blocking you do have for your new diet to start helping your digestive system. Wishing you the best of luck!!!

I had to change my diet because of my gallbladder so I started eating even healthier. I eat vegetables ALL the time. They are like my favorite. I tried miralax, fiber laxative, milk of magnesia, I even went as far as drinking prune juice which is disgusting. I also got my gallbladder out because of attacks, and I thought that would make me poop. Nope. I eat a lot of fruit too, especially strawberries. I also tried types of smoothies. And I drink grape juice every day. I also go on walks with my also pregnant best friend and chase a two year old around all day lol. When I actually do poop it hurts to get it going but then it's pretty soft, but it takes me like an hour in the bathroom just to go.
