Prenatal vitamins

This is my first time being pregnant. But plenty of other moms have told me that prenatal vitamins make you constipated. I haven't had this problem yet but have any of you and what helped to resolve the problem ?

    I am experiencing this right now. It sucks but I have been eating apples and broccoli and that's been helping a lot. I'd just drink a little fruit juice or high fiber foods when you start and make it a habit.

    It might be my brand of vitamins though. I'm using a different brand and I didn't have this problem with my son.

    Wasn't feeling constipated until I actually became pregnant, and I was taking Prenatals before. I've heard what makes you constipated is the iron, and you can get PNVs without iron, unless it's found that you are iron deficient.

    This. I switched to gummies (which don't typically contain iron) and the constipation went away.
