Constipation?

Question

Is anyone else ridiculously constipated?? Ugh it’s so bad. I’ve tried stool softeners and fiber supplements and nothing is helping. Any suggestions? I have my first prenatal appt today so I’ll be talking to my midwife. I just wanted to see if anyone here had any advice.

Answer

Yes I had constipation for weeks now I say just let it happen on is own I know it feels uncomfortable but just like morning sickness is part of the pregnancy I’ve tried eating fruits and yogurt but nothing helps either. And as pregnant women we are not allowed to consume a lot of things

Answer

Yep! Between the anti nausea meds and the extra progesterone. I’ve been backed up. I was told by my midwife to use colace and miralax. I can say it works. I finally feel better!

Answer

Drink as much fluids as you possibly can and do a few yoga poses every day to get your bowels moving. I’ve found that even going on a 10 minute walk helps me feel better and gets things moving a little better.￼

Answer

Yes!! So after I eat, I drink some chamomile tea to help with digestion. It really helps!

Answer

I use a product called CALM. It’s the ONLY thing that has helped me.

Answer

I've been constipated from the very beginning, I'm drinking at least 1,5l a day, eat 2-3 pieces of fruit a day, add extra fiber to my meals, have an active job, nothing helps. 
Went to my gp and she suggested taking a stronger stool softener, I'm allowed to take 1-3 spoons (it's a syrup) a day depending on how bad it is. It helps if I take it daily, but as soon as I skip one day to see if I can go without I'll have trouble getting my bm normal again.

Answer

Probiotics. It works wonders to me.
