Constipation

Kate

Help mamas. Constipation is hitting WAY more this pregnancy than my first. Beside stool softeners, what else can I do to help? My prenatals have iron in them so that’s not helping, but I’m not stopping them.

I take 2 stool softeners at night or early morning. I take milk of magnesia once a week. I still get constipated easily though. I know how you feel. I've tried warm prune juice with a little butter but doesn't help much.

Miralax in decaf or half calf coffee or water maybe? I also take 2 fiber gummies and 2 stool softeners every night.

I drink tons of water and my meals/snacks are 75% fruits and veggies every day. I’ve only had one issue with constipation.

Daily, I have a half caff coffee, 5 prunes and a stool softener. This usually keeps me going. On bad days, I’ll have prune juice and miralax. Usually only need that every couple of weeks.
