Lions, Tigers, & Constipation, OH MY!

So... I definitely noticed a big slow down in my digestive track since becoming pregnant. But HOLY.COW. Today I was actually HURTING from the constipation! :(

I went to Walgreens and bought Miralax, some hopefully it will give me some much-needed relief!!

Anyone else find something that works really well?? I drink as much water as I can, but apparently it's not cutting it.

    I don't have any advice for the constipation, but I've been meaning to ask if you went to A&M? We lived in College Station for a little while.

    I had massive constipation issues with my first pregnancy and still had some residual problems prior to this one.  This is definitely a symptom I'm not excited about.  :)

    My doc wants me to have at least 25(!!!!!)g of fiber every day.  She suggested specifically the light Thomas english muffins that have about 8g/muffin.   Raisin Bran, green leafies, pears, apples, etc are all good fits as well.  If it gets really bad I'd ask about taking some Colace (stool softener) as well.

    I force down a glass of prune juice every morning. It's not easy, but a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I didn't last pregnancy and ended up in tears chugging prune juice and miralax eek!

    I just had to take a Colace today for super constipation. It hasn't worked yet :/

    Generally Colace is most effective if you take it consistently over a period of time.
