Constipation

Sarah&Christoph

It sucks I never had this problem when I was pregnant with DD and now I'm having a hard time going to the bathroom. I just took colace a stool softener and hope it helps but boy does this suck. Anyone else suffer from this and if so what did you do to get relief? I've also had my gall bladder removed if that has anything to do with it I'm not sure.

I find colace is great and when I have trouble I eat a yogurt and chug a waterbottle of water (as quickly as I can without going too crazy about it) and I find that this helps.

Similiar situation, normal bowel movements were never a problem for me, but now it is...um...much more difficult to pass poo.  My diet is better, I'm drinking much more water so I figure it's PG related.

Try extra magnesium capsules.  My doctor told me to take 2 each day and it's really helping.

I take 2 colace every day and it has been a huge help!

I am having the same problem and I eat super healthy, lots of fiber and water...so yeah it is definitely pregnancy related.  I have been eating prunes, and am trying not to take anything.  My mom's friend is a nurse and swears by heating up prune juice and drinking it.   So if the constipation continues, I will try it.  Couldn't hurt, and it's nutritious!
