Pregnant and... CONSTIPATED?!

Question

Apologies in advance for the TMI, but since getting preggers, I’ve only been hitting the toilet for #2 once every 7 days... 7 DAYS!!! How have you found relief? I’ve upped my fiber and water intake and also I’ve tried stool softners like colace, but a bish is looking full term with a 💩 baby. 😭

Answer

I had the same thing with my son. I tried fiber supplements every morning, stool softener, literally everything. I hadn’t gone in 10 days! The only thing that helped was prune juice. A small glass over ice every other day got me back to regular and feeling much better. Good luck

Answer

I don’t know how good for you it is, but I bought some sugar free brownies the other day, had 2 and that stuff went right through me. I know a lot of the sugar free candies have that affect as well.

Answer

Eat prunes.  My mom ate three prunes a day when she was pregnant with me and never had issues with constipation.

Answer

I was constipated my entire pregnancy except for most of second trimester. The only thing that helped was Activia yogurt with probiotics. I had one or two a day. Colace and Metamucil did absolutely nothing!!!

Answer

You can take colace to soften it up. I eat a bowl of plain fiber cereal everyday and haven’t had an issue with constipation since. I started at about 12 weeks and am now 30 weeks. If I skip a couple of days I have issues again.

Answer

Prune juice usually always works haha, good luck🤗

Answer

Milk of magnesia helps  I know the struggle. It’s terrible!
