Constipation anyone?

Question

It just started for me at 32 weeks. I cant take it. It makes me so much more uncomfortable! Tomorrow I will get prune juice and keep trying. I've never been a pusher so I really find this to be just the worst!

Answer

Mu whole 2nd trimester was awful worh constipation. Now I eat 1 bowl of raisin bran a day and it has helped tremendously!

Answer

I eat a bowl of frosted mini wheats for breakfast and snack on belivita breakfast cookies (any time of day) and they're prettty good. If you like nutter butter cookies, their peanut butter sandwhich one tastes just like them. I like the vanilla oat, golden oat, and cinnamon sugar one as well. I alsontake a colace to be safe and also snack on apples.... 
Sometimes indulging in a coke (i find Pepsi doesn't work as well) to help. 
Tldr- try more fiber and colace. Good luck

Answer

I’ve been eating an activia yogurt every day. That seems to help. That and adding more veggies and fruits. But if I don’t, it’s terrible.

Answer

Answer

My constipation comes and goes with this pregnancy.  But I find if i drink a glass on cran-grape a day I stay perfectly regular.       With my first pregnancy nothing kept me going right. I was constipated to the point of tears every single day, sitting on the toilet praying to every god imaginable for diarrhea.       Turns out though I was constipated because my son was breach and had his feet in my ass blocking everything off.   Everybody told me the first poop after a c section is the worst but let me just tell you, that was the best dump I have EVER taken in my life!!   I wish I could shit like that every day 😂  
I know it’s weird to sit here and tell a bunch of strangers how good that poop was but you will understand what I mean after you have your baby 😂

Answer

Try not to push too much, piles are AWFUL
Breathing one out is wayy less strain and is a good technique for labour too! 
Eat tons of veg n drink herbal tea with your meals it helps a lot. Prune juice did nothing when i tried it but everyone's different i guess

Answer

Started for me about a week or so ago! I am on iron tablets so that doesn’t help apparently. I’m just trying to add more fruit and veg to my diet and hope for the best.
