Okay I have a serious question!! Is anyone else in their first tri?

Question

I've been constipated for about 4 days and I'm not sure what I can take. I'm 7weeks. Please help!

Answer

I've been constipated since literally pregnancy day 1 I think.  I'm now 9 weeks and I am still constipated :(. You can take colace (docusate stool softener) or use Miralax powder.

These are what my doctor has said are prefectly safe to use on the list of medications he gave me (don't want to use any stimulant laxatives like senna).

I'm also a pharmacist and it's what I would recommend to myself any anyone else who is pregnant.

Answer

You can't really take any thing. Drink a lot of water and get some Activia yogurt it really helped me. And prune juice. Also try adding fruits like apples, oranges ect to your diet. Fiber 1 brownies and cookies also help.

Answer

This is the list my doc gave out.

Answer

Finally went! After about 5 days thank the lord.

Answer

You can take stool softners!!!! I have taken two a day and haven't had a problem with constipation at all. They also help out in the long run to prevent hemorrhoids.

Answer

Milk of magnesia is very strong & effective and also safe for the baby!

Answer

Lots of water and stretching.

Answer

Black Licorice, prun juice (worked wonders for me) or a tea called smooth move.
