Worst constipation of all time! What helps?

Question

I'm so blessed and excited to be pregnant, 6w1d. But for the last week I've had horrible constipation. I've been eating high fiber food to try to help, drinking lots of water, but nothing helps and my stomach CONSTANTLY hurts. Any suggestions? I'm speaking with my dr about this on Wednesday at my appt. Happy New Year!

Answer

Prune juice, Apple juice, keep fiber in your diet. Praying it gets better for you!

Answer

Check with your OB, but a couple of glasses of pure cranberry juice (not juice cocktail, 100% pure cranberry) will likely knock everything out of you within a few hours. Like prune juice on steroids. It's expensive, super sour and kind of bitter, but if you're desperate for a non-medical solution...

Answer

I was super constipated to around that time. Mine got so bad that I drank 2 glasses of prune juice and about 30/45 min after that everything just came out. It's gross but I was very desperate and in a lot of pain from it. I haven't had a problem with constipation since then though.
