You can have decaf coffee too so yes you can have coffee I just prefer not regular because it's using up all my caffine intake for the day but decaf works good for laxative too

You can have one cup a day. They just don't want you drinking a lot

you shouldn't drink coffee while pregnant. it's the first thing my doctor told me. I poop so much now that I'm pregnant but try eating veggies and fruit

@kate_magalina, lol thank you I'm sure it will pass soon putting lore fiber in my diet is slowly working I think

): I hope you feel better soon!

Ok thanks @shelbyann hopefully it will go away in a couple weeks. And @kate_magalina coffee doesn't work for me lol 😔 much worse constipation laxatives don't really even work for me

@edomke, coffee always works for me. Lol idk if that's normal but it does the trick

@edomke, Honestly it lasted up until 20 weeks for me. And it was the worst for me around 10-15 weeks. So hopefully you get some relief soon! It's already uncomfortable enough being pregnant and having all that pressure down there.

@shelbyann, thank you I have been eating healthier and I went today but I still feel constipated so idk if it's just going to be like that. I'm 12 almost 13 weeks how long did it last for you??

I had a bad problem when I first became pregnant. And I think you are typically supposed to make a bm everyday or every other day. I was going weeks and I was beyond miserable, nothing was helping. I started incorporating more fiber into my daily routine and I can't begin to tell you how much it's helped me stay regular. I eat a small bowel of Raisin bran everyday, the 100% whole wheat fig nutons for a snack, an 8oz glass of apple juice every other day, and lots and lots of water. It's worked wonders and no more laxatives. And I honestly feel so much better. :)

I usually poop at least 3 times a day
