Constipation....??

Question

Absolutely horrid.. And not my ideal topic, but I feel like since I found out that I'm pregnant I haven't had a 'real' poo. It's mostly bunny rabbit poo or nothing at all. Lol. Please tell mom not the only one, and how do I get some relief??!! I've been drinking a ton of water, and trying to eat foods rich in fiber.

Answer

You can take flax seed oil it's a vitamin and an absolute necessity in that department

Answer

You can take cultural if that's the right spelling. I was just in the hospital for constipation pains and was told to take that

Answer

Yes! I've had it w every pregnancy and it's miserable. After so long you start getting horrible pains in your sides. I've tried high in fiber foods, tons of fruit and drank gallons of water w no relief at all. I've been taking senekot pretty much every other day. It's a natural mild laxative made w vegetable oil. That's the only way I can go these days. Hope you feel better.

Answer

YES!  It's brutal.    Water, exercise, I was just told to start meta mucil (yep...yum...errrr).

Prunes, fruit, oatmeal, anything that makes ya go... more of it.
