Constipation pregnancy question! Prunes?

Question

I bought a bag of prunes the individually wrapped ones.. Im unsure on how many to eat? I couldnt handle the juice, I threw it up instantly. 😭 Ive been constipated for 4 days now and I do have IBS so this isnt a new thing for me, I normly just take lax and go on but I refused to take anything while pregnant because im so paranoid. So, Natural ways are the only way now.. how many should I eat? Has anything else worked that I should try?
Apple juice doesnt work for me! 😫

Answer

Colace is safe to take during pregnancy i was so terribly constipated and I’ve pooped 3 days in a row since i started taking it and I’m so proud. I’ve tried prunes i think about 3-5 is enough. I really like them so i eat more but that’s up to you.

Answer

Smoothies with lots of berries and probiotics have always helped me!

Answer

Chia pudding. This stuff makes me go in the best way possible.

Answer

Start with a couple. If it doesn't help, add a couple more. I've been taking colace only as needed cuz my 3rd trimester constipation is rough.

Answer

Pears also help, plus drink lots of water and try to eat lots of high fibre foods.

Answer

I ate prunes, drank prune juice and tons of water, ate other fruit and still couldn’t go... there are several meds that are ok to take. I took Metamucil, miralax and colace daily and STILL couldn’t go for 5 days 😣 it was miserable. I used milk of magnesia one time, also safe for pregnancy and it worked like magic!

Answer

I bought a huge prune juice. I drink it with water since I don’t enjoy the taste. It works fast!!!
