I have had this problem since childhood and pregnancy has made it worse! No much helps but my midwife turned me on to calcium and magnesium - 1000mg daily. Taking too much calcium can give a normal person diarrhea but seems to do the trick for pregnant ladies. I would suggest taking half dosage until you know how your body will react. Be sure to drink extra water to avoid intestinal cramps. Good luck!
I know that if it gets too bad like you haven't gone for weeks they will give you colonoscopy prep stuff. You know the stuff they give you before you have a colonoscopy to totally clean you out so just make sure you keep your doctor updated cuz they can really help. I know you have heard to drink and drink and drink water and take colace but I'm sure you have tried that but it has failed like it has for me lol just keep your doc informed!
@Britanee&Baby I'm def gonna try the calcium thing. I already have calcium supplements because of my aversion to milk i figured i should try to get some extra calcium from somewhere lol but have failed miserably at taking them. I'm def gonna try now to help with the pooping if this finally helps you will def get a creepy Internet stranger kiss! Hahaha

I had awful gas cramps due to constipation. It felt like I was being punched in the stomach. Even with proper diet, plenty of fluids and walking I was still experiencing constipation sometimes for almost 2 weeks! NOT HEALTHY. I added a fiber chewable vitamin and it took a day... I feel so much better.
I take 3 scoops of benefiber with my decaf coffee EVERY morning. It keeps me regular. I got the tip from my sister after she suffered from constipation and hemmorhoids during her pregnancy. It's been a life saver. You dont taste it and it doesnt thickener.
