Pregnancy constipation

This won't help you go right now but I normally at this point start taking colace to keep things soft.

I tried so many things, I wasn't drinking enough water. Try to up your water intake!

I had it so severe almost my whole pregnancy my whole left side would lock up. I think regularly taking colace definitely would have helped but I couldn’t swallow pills without throwing up at the time. In the meantime if it’s causing you pain you can ask your OB if it’s okay to take an enema or a suppository. Mine made it very clear to only use it as a last resort but it did the job.

Decaf coffee helped sometimes

Have you taken ducolax? We can take that during pregnancy for constipation.

It’s important to poop! 💩

I hope it helps! It’ll be good to get all those toxins out of your body, you’ll feel brand new I promise! 💙

Take a probiotic!!! From a good brand.

Idk what is going on but I’m waaay more regular during pregnancy. I had a constipation issue prior to getting pregnant. I cannot stop drinking water. Ice cold water. I’m getting way more fluids now than I was pre-pregnancy. And I think gut friendly stuff has helped too. Oatmeal, yogurt, sourdough bread (like, exclusively), soups and stews. Though I should probably eat more fruit 😬

I also recommend a laxative if you are desperate, but start with just one, or like, one small serving or MiraLAX. Laxatives can pack a lot of punch.

Does your multivitamin have iron? I noticed it really backed me up so I quit taking it and switched to another one without. I just increased my iron from food instead.

I took a laxative when I got desperate to clear me out And then started taking a fiber supplement gummy. I’m still struggling with constipation but the gummy helps.

Update I ate two black plums and yeah let’s just say I feel a TON lighter 🫣
