Took a nausea pill.. And now I'm constipated😭 what do I do?

Question

First time pregnancy! My nausea was bad at 6 weeks than surprisingly eased a lot after that. I make sure to keep crackers and nibble on them during the night. But the other day I had bad nausea so I took a pill my dr prescribed and made me constipated !!! I haven't had a bm in two days and my stomach hurts 😔 I want it out!! Any suggestions??

Answer

Lots of water too

Answer

Try a stool softener and prune juice.

Answer

Lots of water and Colace! Start today! Mine was THE WORST in my 6th week but now I take 2 Colace every night with my prenatal and it has definitely helped. Takes a day or two to work so start now.

Answer

Prune juice every day. It's kind of gross, but effective. Worked for me when colace didn't and colace doesn't work well if you already are really backed up.

Answer

I take colace, it's a stool softener. My dr prescribed me a prescription version of it too, it's exactly the same as the OTC though.

Answer

Ugh. I just had to take milk of magnesia after not going for about a week!!! Dr said after this try colase which softens everything up. I've also been literally just eating flax seeds raw. And prunes and supplementing with Metamucil- which really isn't bad! Good luck

Answer

Those pills don't cause constipation but I understand it's annoying. I would taking too much. Prune juice, Metamucil, and bran muffins work well!

Answer

I've had nothing but constipation during my first trimester. I've found that drinking coconut water throughout the day help. Make sure it's pure coconut water, no additives. Also, yogurt has been helping me too. Good luck!
