TMI...sorry...constipation?!?

in 1st Trimester

Is anyone else super duper constipated? I'm normally pretty regular, but now it hurts to go. Is this normal?!?

Sorry again if I grossed you out. DH doesn't like to hear it, LOL!

    It's normal! Take some calcium pills! I take 3 a day and they keep me real regular! It's hard when you can't have your coffee in the morning!

    Ditto on the water!  Colace is a safe stool softener.  You can also try prune, pear, or plum juice.  Pears are also the highest packed of fiber per a serving fruit!

    I just bought the fiber one brownies and they're yummy.

    And I'll def. go and purchase Colace. Hopefully things will get better.

    Thanks again ladies! Wink

    Ask your doctor about taking Miralax daily. I have to. Be careful with calcium pills (I also take those because I take stomach injections and calcium pills are good for bone strength but make you stopped up!!)

     

    DRINK WATER!!!
