Constipation and Morning Sickness

jamizippjamizipp member
in 1st Trimester

I had bad constipation daily before pregnancy. Now, I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and I look a few months pregnant because of the constipation.

From that and morning sickness I'm constantly feeling sick and I don't want to eat anything. I've tried crackers, lots of fluids, nuts, and mints. It seems like I'm living on those things and already sick of them.

I hate to complain about this all the time, but I need some advice. I don't have many people to talk to about this.

    Colace is safe during pregnancy. You can also find fiber crackers that are bland.See if you can find mcvites digestive biscuits. Drink water! I hope you find relief soon. Constipation is really cruddy.

    I bought prune juice the other weekend and just smelling it made me want to throw up. I tried, but couldn't do it.

    I'll try apple juice - love that!

    thanks!

    Thanks for the response. I don't have my first appt with the nurse until June 28th. I did hear colace is okay to take, but I am worried about taking it constantly...I'm sure that's not good to do.

    High fiber oatmeal (Quaker) or the high fiber Luna bars might help a bit and I find them settling on the stomach right now.  Also, cherries are in season and my god those suckers can get your system moving :) 

    Good luck!

    (Psyllium) Root Seed is the generic for that I think. I was told to get that and I tried, but no luck for me. I'm sure it's different for everyone and hopefully will work for you. It has a lot of fiber. Drinks lots of water, so that it doesn't do a reverse affect.

    I've been pouring boiling water over freshly grated ginger to make a sort of tea. It's been helping both problems. (The heat makes things move and the ginger soothes the nausea).
