Constipated 😭 any tips?

Question

I’m in my first trimester and some days I get so constipated (sorry if that’s TMI). It’s awful because I had such a great schedule before pregnancy lol. Any tips to get things flowing are greatly appreciated!!! 
Sincerely, a miserable momma

Answer

Drink prune juice or eat prunes and it should get you going quickly... we give patients prune juice in the hospital and it’s always worked haha
Then make sure to drink lots of water daily, food with fiber and walk!
If nothing helps call and ask your OB what you can take for relief. Do not take any meds without calling as some are dangerous during pregnancy!

Answer

Lots of water, fruits, veggies, whole grains (brown rice instead of white ect). And if that doesn’t help see about a magnesium supplement with vitamin C (that’s what I use)

Answer

Lots of fruit too. I ate grapes and that helped.

Answer

I feel ya! It’s the worst, girl! I went 6 days and was freaking out! I have increased my water, which helps. Also fruit smoothies seem to help, and I take Colace daily. I hear great things about prunes, but I personally can’t eat them.

Answer

It’s common - I did my best to eat veggies to get things going and tons of water
