1st trimester symptoms

Hello! First time mom here. I’ve been experiencing the whole host of symptoms since week 6 on, most of which has been fairly manageable. I’ve recently been dealing with a lot of constipation, which feels slightly less manageable at this point. Any tips or suggestions on how anyone else has dealt with this?

    Look into magnesium supplements and drink LOTS of water. My OB recommended calm powder when I was pregnant.

    Take a stool softener. Ask your ob first which one is best.

    Oh I feel for you, I’ve struggled with this so much. Eat ALL the fiber, smaller meals, stay super hydrated, and keep your body moving. I take magnesium supplement at night too. 

    P.S. hi @meggyme! Long time!

    Yes, magnesium supplements are definitely worth every penny and also help with sleep and the hip and back pain associated with pregnancy. I took it regularly with my first and had a very easy pregnancy and delivery.

    @anneellert that was me around week 4-5. Food aversions didn't help with my intent to eat certain things to help digestion. Finally I found that a shake in the morning with extra chia seeds and flaxseed helped TONS. I added orange juice, pineapple and leafy greens, to make sure I would get nutrients that I could stomach, but definitely you can just add it to yogurt or milk.
