Smooth move tea safe?

Question

Hello! I recently hit week 7 and am now finding myself constipated. I have upped my fiber intake as well water intake in hope that it would help. Also tried prunes, fiber pills, and prune juice...nothing natural seems to get it moving 😫 I typically use smooth move tea but was informed to steer away from herbal teas while pregnant. Does anyone else have recommendations or have used the smooth move tea while pregnant? Thank you I’m advance!

Answer

Moat of the smooth moves have sienna which can cause contractions/cramps so arent recommended. It is recommended to try a stool softener versus a laxative. Try magnesium citrate or "Calm". I started at 250mg and upped it a dose every couple days until a BM. Keeps stool loose but doesnt upset the delicate balance down there.

Answer

Drink warm lemon water first thing in the morning and try eating yogurt like activita that has live probiotics. I also heard to avoid herbal teas like smooth move. If it’s really bad talk to you doctor as they may be able to advise what would be safe to take.
