Constipation - What helps it?

Question

Sorry if this is TMI. I’ve been having the hardest time going #2 since finding out I was pregnant. That was the symptom that triggered me to test. Anyways, I’m so uncomfortable and I don’t know if it’s okay to take medication to help this. Please help! 😩

Answer

Increase fiber, drink plenty of fluids. Miralax is safe in pregnancy, it retains the water in your stools and works as an osmotic laxative.

Answer

I was badly constipated with my first pregnancy and my doctor said take a dulcolax before bed and after that start uping your water and take a fibre supplement

Answer

Oatmeal

Answer

Keep up your fluids as that helps! I drink like crazy. Also a bit of exercise helps too - go for a brisk walk every day - you’ll be surprised how much it eases up.
