What to take for bathroom issues..

Question

I eat healthy, I cut out junk food from the start of my pregnancy, I drink a ton of water and I am recently having a little issue going to the bathroom. I have heard to take a stool softener but I am a little worried about it being harsh or upsetting my stomach. Any moms out there have any suggestions or any natural alternatives? Any help would be appreciated!
Currently 26 weeks pregnant.

Answer

Take probiotics. It's a life changer.

Answer

32 weeks pregnant and apple, white grape and grape juice seem to be my savior lol for this pregnancy I had to be put on a high dose of folic acid as my body does not produce enough on its own...found this out the hard way. But with having to take 5 mg of folic acid daily definitely makes it difficult to go to the bathroom regularly.  I tried eating different and everything but the nothing helped but the juices hopefully it will help you

Answer

my midwife recommended one Actimel a day ( or any other probiotic-yoghurt drink) and one big glass of Pearjuice mixed with sparkling water😊 it helps to keep everything regular! And it works!

dried apricots and prunes, a little prune juice each day, applesauce, and even fruit baby food (apples, pears, etc.) have helped me tremendously.

Answer

I had issues after giving birth. I was literally scared to go to the bathroom. I took two shots or prune juice with every meal along with the up and up (Target brand) stool softener I. The morning and at night. The prune juice tastes like liquid raisins, kind of gross but worked. You might want to chase it with sprite or 7up, it seemed to get the job done for me.
