How do you deal with pregnancy constipation?!?

Question

Tmi warning!
This has always been an issue of mine, but never to this extreme. Usually, my excersice routine can solve all my metabolism problems. But now I'm super hesitant on doing the high intensity training I'm used to. And basic cardio isn't cutting it. Barely anything comes out the backend anymore and i feel disgusting inside! 
What excersices do you do to keep those bowels moving? Is there any food you can suggest apart from high fibre cereal? 
Thanks!

Answer

3 tbsp of lemon juice mixed with 12 oz bottle of water (room temperature) in the morning before you eat anything. After you drink that, try not to eat anything for 30 mins. Helps me a lot, good luck.

Answer

You take colace

Answer

Prunes!!! They may not be your favorite, but they work so good for me. I tried colace 4xday and that didn't work, but 4-6 prunes is awesome and better for you than meds

Answer

Eat your prunes! :)

Answer

I am using a tsp of metimucil daily...so far so good :)

Answer

The juice from a lemon in warm water first thing each morning and 3-4 prunes at night.... I have chronic constipation and I have tk do this on a daily basis... over and above this I have to take Movical each morning also, but thats as per my drs instructions, so before u take any medication (although it is safe as it isn't absorbed by your system) please just get the green light from your dr 😊

Answer

Popcorn and prunes or prune juice. But foods for constipation work much better as a preventative than a treatment (as you probably already know). Once you're already constipated, you might have to resort to a medicine (3 milk of magnesia tablets works great for me with no cramping). The prunes and popcorn works for me if I eat them daily just to keep things regular

Answer

I tried activia yogurt, apple juice, unsalted popcorn, loads of water and kfc zinger wings. That was on one day, after I was already 3 days constipaded. The next morning after a 3 hour drive, and loads of pushing, I had luck. I also had to drink dulpholac, and after the first success, my body got back to normal in 5 days times. I uped my fruit intake and started craving soda water, and later read that it help to keep your digestive system regular ( yay to craving)
