what can I take?

Question

I have had 3 losses prior to this pregnancy. One 4 mths along, so needless to say I'm very worried about this pregnancy. My entire life I have suffered from constipation and now it's worse. I'm very uncomfortable and bloated. What can I take that is safe and won't hurt baby? I am just over 6 weeks pregnant.

Answer

You can thank the iron in the prenatals for that.  I would eat prunes and drink alot of water

Answer

Up your fiber intake too. That helped a lot with the constipation

Answer

Agree talk to doc, but mine says stool softeners like Colace are good, and I've found prune juice to be super helpful if I'm having trouble pooping that day

Answer

Talk to your doctor. My dr told me I could take some Metamucil but it was later in my pregnancy. Your best bet may be tons of water and maybe probiotics/digestive enzymes.

Answer

I had horrible constipation and the only remedy was to drink more water.  I was drinking almost two gallons a day. There was nothing else my Dr wanted me to take or do besides drink more water.  It went away within 24 hours of having the baby.
