    I’ve been taking Metamucil once a day and thought it wasn’t making much of a difference because things still weren’t great, but then I missed a few days—and lemme tell you, it was still making a huge difference and I took it for granted!

    Won’t make that mistake again 😅

    I’m in the same boat rn. Went to urgent care a couple days ago and they told me Miralax is okay if you’re stuck. Check with your doc but supposedly it’s fairly safe. Started feeling better later the same day I started taking it!

    Prior to pregnancy I had some issues with occasional constipation until I added a daily fruit smoothie with yogurt. OF COURSE once the morning sickness hit I stopped my smoothies and here we are. My best advice is boring but tried and true - lots of fiber, daily walks/exercise, and a magnesium supplement if you aren’t getting enough from your food.

    Good luck! You are not alone in this.

    I think Miralax is fine, but you should consult your doctor first. That would be your be move just to be certain.

    Same! My doctor recommended Metamucil and it’s helping but I didn’t realize how much until I missed a day. It definitely didn’t solve the issue but it’s helping!

    I take olive oil first thing in the morning, then drink wheatgrass. I end my day with fiber gummies. Seems to be keeping things moving. I also try and drink 60-80 ounces of water per day.

    MIRALAX. I’ve been talking Metamucil for months even before pregnancy but even that didn’t help as much.
