Constipation!

I’m 37 weeks and have terrible constipation! I’m taking an iron supplement, colace hasn’t helped ( it did in the beginning but my poop is already soft... so i don’t need a stool softener?)

Any recommendations??

Has anyone tried Metamucil? Is it only powder form to mix with a drink?

I eat lots of fruits and veggies already along with whole grains but that doesn’t help. I don’t like prune juice :( & I’ve tried pear juice!

Sometimes oatmeal and warm pears help but I know I’m not going enough!

Also I ate Raisin Bran/ plain Cheerios cereal but I can’t take milk with an iron supplement so cereal is out the way for mornings! Or I could wait the 1-2 hours to take my pill.
