11 weeks and first time expirencing constipation

My grandma and my aunt are both nurses and I called them and they both told me the fastest thing to take would be a ducolax suppository. I took one at 9:15 pm my only problem is at 2 am my boyfriend and I will be leaving to go out of town for the weekend for his brothers wedding and I'm scared I'm going to be on the toilet so much that we won't be able to leave on time. This is my first time having constipation. I wish my prenatals wouldn't make me constipated. Any advice?

    Yes! Drink a LOT of water! When you take those things you have to stay hydrated. Or else.
    That's all I got.

    I'd also be careful with the suppositiories they dehydrate you a lot!! Drink lots and lots of fluids and eat fiber.

    You can also discuss with your provider possibly taking folate and calcium instead of your prenatal if you do not need additional iron Caz that may be what's binding you but again this is a discussion to be had with your provider

    You're quite blessed to just now have constipation. I've had it since day 1. Lots of water and a high fiber diet have helped me. Also staying active can help too! Hope you have a BM soon!

    Water high fiber diet walking stay active. I would take a stool softener every day. This just softens the stool, take a laxative if you need to go right away, u can try prunes or prune juice as well

    My doc specifically told me to stay away from ducolax, she said only stool softeners - nothing that stimulates your bowels. Use something with dosusate sodium in it and keep drinking lots of water, it will soften your stool rather then make you go running in pain to the toilet.
