For the constipated Ladies...

who knew that benefiber could make me feel so much better - I got the kiwi strawberry packets and it's made a world of difference. I gave into benefiber bc water/fruits/Veges were not doing it for me. And I finally enjoyed a full meal without feeling "full" before it! Totally recommend it ladies!!!!!! Gluck w everything :)

    Maybe I should try this! I just bought prunes and juice hoping it would help.

    Does it get clumpy if you don't chug it?

    Tip from previous pregnancy if ya need to take iron but suffer constipation - use spa tone.

    If anyone does green smoothies... Add a teaspoon of coconut oil!! Super nutritious and helps with constipation!! :)

    If you stir it in, it won't be clumpy. I used to take it mixed in my water and had no issues.

    I tried miralax once and almost threw up bc I let it sit too long and it was like mushy jello at the bottom. Gross! I was just wondering if this brand did that too. Idk if I'm up for chugging.

    Thank you for this! I went and bought some and LOVE it mixed with light minute maid lemonade. I already feel more regular which is such a relief. TY for sharing!

    Yeah I had a problem with that BEFORE being pregnant and now it's just brutal. I think the juicing is a good idea. What do you put into them? And of course the Benifiber

    Wow, I had 4 pieces of dried apricot and that fixed me right up 4 hours later. Warning, make sure this doesn't happen while you're at work!

    So I personally haven't had this issue yet, but I work for retailer and had a vendor pitch me the squatty potty. I thought it was a joke...but it is legit. The Amazon reviews are the best..."makes going #2 #1"...."poop like a champ" etc. They are carried at Target as well as Bed Bath and Beyond. You can also buy online at either retailer or on Amazon. Personally I have one and love it and heard they are great for pregnant women struggling with constipation. Read the Amazon reviews for a good chuckle.

    Haha about the squatty potty! Save some money though (until your belly is too big to do this, I guess) and just bring your heels onto the front of your toilet seat. It's how I've dealt with difficult poops for years...it doesn't make you have a BM, but it sure makes pushing easier (practice for pushing during labor? hahaha).

    Only on a pregnancy site can you TMI about poop and nobody is grossed out about it, which I sincerely love.
