Hi there, any suggestions for constipation during pregnancy? I swear it's partially to blame for my constant morning sickness. Thank you!

    i'm glad to hear you say that the constipation and ms seem linked for you too.  I thought I was imagining it, but i'm definitely more apt to feel nauseated if i'm stopped up. yuck.

    I haven't with this pregnancy yet (fx) but last one I was HORRIBLY constipated.  I took 3 colace a day and put flavorless Metamucil  in my morning coffee. I have yogurt every morning now, and I have been thinking that is helping  with this pregnancy.

    Apple juice, prunes, coffee. Metamucil is good too. I use that for DD.

    I believe they go hand in hand. I was def having worse nausea before I tried milk of magnesia it helped so much.

    May sound weird but soda/caffeine helps me I don't drink it often but when I'm struggling if I have a little it helps!

    Apples and apple sauce works for me so I regularly stock up on honey crisp apples .

    This may be TMI, but I'm going to bring it up anyway... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! But has anyone (at any point in time) experienced rectal bleeding? I've been constipated like no other and have been upping my water intake and trying to eat more fiber and etc to resolve it, but currently it still hurts whenever I pass a #2. And today while I was at work I noticed blood when it wiped and it was in my stool. (Sick, I know.) I'm sure I'm not bleeding from my vag though, so that's good. I googled this and apparently it's normal and caused by potential hemorrhoids or fissures! Just wanted to know anyone's input on or tips to resolve that. I plan on asking my doctor when I go in on Wednesday, and the office is currently closed so I can't call a nurse and I don't really feel it's an "emergency" based on what my research says on the subject.


    Again, sorry for being gross! Just curious and a little bit anxious. Meh. :-/

    I had that problem once before it is from severe constipation. It will go away when the constipation goes. If its painful try tucks medicated pads. So sorry I know how bad it sucks!

    Ladies, I was constipated for 2 weeks. Took milk of magnesia at 10 pm last night and this morning violaaa! Highly recommend! (It may sound like I'm way too excited about this, but it was 2 weeks of terribleness!
