This may be TMI but, What did you do for your constipation issue? I've tried everything (or so I think). I've never wanted to go #2 so bad in my life. I'm 7 weeks and 5 days (with my 1st) and my first prenatal visit is September 24th (8 weeks and 5 days). The last time I was able to go to the bathroom (#2) was Sunday (September 14th). Advise ASAP. I need instant relief!

If u don't want to drink prune juice get the dried prunes. Taste better and work just as well. Also soaking in a hot bath and massaging your lower back in a clock wise motion helps. Herbal teas like raspberry or chamomile tea too. My midwife told me to do this when I was so stuffed j thought I was dying. And it worked!

I finally had some random relief earlier. I didn't do anything special, I just think it didn't have any where else to go! LOL. I'm going to try prune juice (even though it sounds awful) and then Fiber Gummies hopefully they will keep me on track! Thanks for the advice!

I haven't had it that bad but on my safe med list from my OB says you can take these for constipation while pregnant: Metamucil, miralax, milk of magnesia, colace, and a glycerin suppository. Hope you get some relief soon.
