TMI - so constipated!

melsue18

Is anyone else super constipated?! I'm 5 weeks 6 days and had to take 4 caps of miralax and  2 dulcolax tabs last night to relieve the cramping. Feeling a little better today. I've been drinking my water and eating plenty of fruit. What works for you?

Coffee? I know a lot of caffeine isnt good but I have 1 small cup of diluted coffee every morning, seems to do the trick but I've never had problems with constipation

Hi Knottie! Welcome to January! Check out our weekly symptoms thread over here:

We've talked about constipation a bit, and if you ask questions there, you may get more responses! I also highly recommend going over to The Knot and changing your username so we can recognize you and tag you much easier! You'll have to log out and then back into the Bump to get the change to take, but that should work.

Try a smoothie in the morning with lots of berries, spinach and flax seed. Works for me!

I had to use glycerin suppositories last pregnancy but it was so bad at that point. Check with your doctor before going that route
