    I know it is super sweet but I take like 100-150 ml of prune juice daily. Really helps me

    coffee
    It's gotta be hot, though.  That helps!


    The prune juice is great, too.  It's also a good source of iron.

    I drink a ton of water, every time I feel hungry and craving carbs, I drink a large glass of water first...usually the craving isn't as intense after (thirst is masked by hunger feeling) and I eat a crap load of fruit! Apples, grapes, plums, clementines...whatever I have in the house! I have also never had a problem (either time I was pregnant) so it's possible I just don't get this symptom!

    I've been eating a lentil-vegetable soup about once or twice a week. I think this definitely helps, at least for me :) DH also made me homemade cliff bars that help clear things out (lots of seeds, nuts, dates, craisons, etc).

    I'm having the opposite problem. I'm supposed to be taking an iron supplement because of anemia. I take it before bed and get woken up during the night with bad stomach cramps. Then I go about 10 times before work. But it's urgent. I'm afraid I'll have an accident at work!

    Tones of water, dried apricots, and high fiber fruits and veg seem to keep things in order for me.

    I love aaaaalllll the citrus fruits. Fortunately they're also good for moving things along. If that doesn't work, I find a green smoothie works every time for me.

    I take an inulin fibre supplement twice a day. It's the stuff in Metamusil but no sugar/flavouring.

    I take a probiotic every day which really seems to help. I also bought shredded wheat a few weeks ago...but make sure you remember a little goes a long way :) 

    If all else fails, my half decaf/half regular cup of coffee in the morning get things going.

    Honestly just my regular diet. I haven't had issues with constipation this pregnancy or last even while taking an iron supplement. ::knock on wood::

    I eat a cereal mix of kashi and all bran daily. I struggled with constipation for years after living abroad and getting some crazy intestinal problems. If I eat that daily and drink lots of water I have no issues at all, even when pregnant.

    I drink a half cup of coffee (fairly weak coffee) every day and it helps a LOT.

    About halfway through my pregnancy this time I started adding a glass of metamucil as a supplement every other day or so.  Slacked on that a little bit lately, but it definitely kept things moving. 
    Myles was so pumped about the baby . . . until he figured out he'd have to share all his toys!!!
