Awake and constipation

Edsilva14

I'm 19 weeks and am hungry and constipated...any good tips for releasing and relieving constipation? I already have prune juice and eat prunes.

The one thing that always worked for me that OB approved was Colace. It is not a laxative but a stool softener.

I did Activia yogurt with my first and eating high fiber cereal this pregnancy has helped (Frosted Mini Wheats!)

I take fiber gummies every morning, I'm pretty sure they're keeping me regular. I'm also eating a lot of apples and cereal in the morning.

Colace, lots of fiber in your diet, lots of water, and exercise.

Water and smoothies have helped me. Try some papaya, yogurts, and maybe a probiotic to help your tummy. Worst case, call the doc and ask if there's something you can take to get things moving along.

How many prunes are you eating at a time? Try eating a large handful in the morning.  That helped me more than anything else.

It is better for you to drink more water if prune juices is not working with you. Or you can ahve this Digestic by Mimonis which is very good in relieving constipation problem. It works well on when I am constipated and I am sure it will do the same for you.

I've recently run out of it, but a spoonful of Benefiber in my morning coffee was all I needed!

I take a magnesium supplement once a day, in the early evening...500 mg. I was worried i wasnt going to be able to take these once i got pregnant, so i asked 3 doctors so far. All approved!

Lots of water, extra fiber and it doesn't matter how you get it (bars, etc).

I'm seconding fiber gummies! They have been a lifesaver. I take the Vitafusion Fiber Gummies after having then approved by the nurse at the OB. Definitely recommend them (plus they taste good).
