Constipation With Progesterone

So I've been on progesterone since we found out we're pregnant with baby #2. I'm starting week 9. We really thought this was impossible & I'm still in disbelief... First doctor appointment is Friday.

Baby #1 took about 7 years and lots of money and💉s and also progesterone for maybe 10-11 weeks to bring into this world.

Like last time, I'm SO constipated from the progesterone. It has continually gotten worse.

I actually thought I was starting to show last week, then took colace and realized that I was actually just full of 💩...

So that's cool. I even took a photo 🙄😂

All that to say, does anyone have tips on *naturally* getting my guts moving? I like smoothies so if there's something I can add to that then I'm particularly curious.

I'm also having horrible nausea and I think it's being made worse by the constipation. Yesterday I only consumed liquid because in hopes it would help things move along. It didn't. Today I had to eat normally because I was just too hungry.

Help?
