Take magnesium citrate. It’s over the counter and safe for pregnancy, and works like a charm! It’s about $2 from a pharmacy and is a drink. It will relieve your constipation. I used it twice in my second trimester and finally learned my lesson and increased my fiber intake so I didn’t have to deal with that again. You can also take a daily stool softener for maintenance. But stool softener won’t work for current constipation issues, just avoiding it in the future. Good luck mama!

You can take magnesium citrate capsules daily to keep your stool softened naturally - this is what had been recommended to me.Eats lots of fruit and drink lots of water also.
