Anyone else constipated? I alternate between not going and diarrhea. What are you using to go?

    I used coconut water with both pregnancies- worked like a charm.

    I have been the same day... back and forth and I'm in meetings on a business trip so it's kind of embarrassing to get up and walk out all the time! :)

    Yes! I am very constipated (and unfortunately have developed hemorrhoids too... not pretty or fun.) Out of all the symptoms so far in 11 weeks, the constipation is the one that's sent me into a crying fit (it's painful and frusterating, right?)

    I've been drinking fiber drinks in the morning, prune juice at night (gross!) and taking colace to soften the stool. I'm also trying to eat high fiber- but my food aversions are not helping me stay on track with that one. My mom swears that pure Aloe Juice is a great way to help stay regular, but I can't seem to find that.

    Are you taking Zofram? I'm taking that twice a day and I understand that constipation is one of the side-effects. Plus our prenatal vitamins could be another cause.

    Good luck! Know you're not alone with this...
