constipation

Any tried remedies for constipation .
I really have a hard time passing stool it hurts (sorry for saying this) ... Im eating pulpy fruits thinking they might help but very little.. Im 16weeks

Lots of fruit and veges, drink lots of water, exercise, and lay off processed or baked goods like cakes/pasta etc.

Also you could try a stool softener if lifestyle changes don't help.

Try a daily fiber supplement

Peri -colace (it is in the approved med lidt for pregnancy) it works wonders after thr first couple doses!

I found that when I have a high fiber breakfast (usually a bowl of bran flakes), I have no constipation problems and on days that I skip the cereal, I do. Colace has been helpful too.

My doctor told me to do a capful of miralax every couple of days. I haven't tried it yet because shortly after that appointment I got food poisoning but I plan on trying if this constipation keeps up like it has

I did Colace every day. Lots of water. High fiber diet. Nothing helped. Now that the baby moves a lot more, no more issues for me. I've heard constipation can be made worse by the position of the baby and where he sits.

Omg I feel your pain. There are some nights I literally had to go lay on the couch and was just crying because of the discomfort and pain. Its horrible I usually take a colace when it gets that bad or I take Miramax a couple days out of the week every other. Otherwise I try to avoid taking anything and hope the way I eat and upping my water in take will be okay on its own. But if it happens again with the pain that bad I will obviously tell my doctor to come up with a solution! Feel better xoxo

I have a protein shake every morning and add chia seeds and find this helps a lot. Another thing that helped was Metamucil

I have Metamucil every day because I'm on a pretty hefty dose of iron as of a few weeks ago. It helps a ton.

Fiber one makes magical tasting gummies, I've always had constipation problems and fiber helps if you stay on it fairly consistently.If you're into it you can drink a cup of decaf coffee, coffee always gets me moving like lightening! Or you can try probiotic yogurt!

Prunes and green leafy vegetables did it for me!

Chia seeds, Metamucil...

Also, the only thing that helped me was a mcdonald's quarter pounder. I know it sounds weird, but I would eat one and have relief within the hour. I hate mcdonalds normally, but during my pg with DS it was the only way I could poop weekly.
