constipation help

I would occasionally get constipated when I was pg with DS.  However, this time around I am having the worst time.  I know the main reason is that I'm not drinking enough water.  I was working when pg with DS so I had it right in front of me, now that I'm a SAHM I forget to drink it with playing and chasing after DS.  It is causing problems because I think I'm getting hemmis in places you never would expect to get them.

What did you do to help prevent the constipation and hemmis?

    With Ds I ate prunes and took colace and that helped.  I also increased my fiber intake which got things moving.   When I am at home on the weekends I have to force myself to drink water.   It is hard.

    Ugh, it's no fun.  I take fiber every day and used Colace in my last pregnancy - first once, then twice a day.  Drinking water does help and I find exercise does too - I do Pilates when I can (which isn't as often as I should) and walk.  GL - I hope it gets better!

    Colace helps.  And what you said you already know... plenty of water.  Not fun, I agree.

    I get one of those jars of prunes in syrup at the start of the week and have four prunes with some of the syrup every morning. That plus drinking water and having a curry once a week seem to do the trick.

    Earlier on kiwi fruit seemed to help me a lot, just keep drinking a lot of water.

    A big bowl of Raisin Bran cereal and decaf coffee for breakfast would do it for me.
