Why Is Pooping a Mission Lately? Any Advice?

My dr told me just to drink a lot of water & try not to force yourself, you can strain something

Drink allot of water and slow down on the pregnatles they make you constipated

thanks ladies, the prenatals were ok by themselves but dr put me on extra iron and thats killing me :( @lexpalma and @ashley_abby20

are you allowed to take stool softeners while pregnant? I was put on iron after giving birth & it did the same to me but stool softeners helped me

Lots of water , fibers , fruits , yogurt , and protein :)

No not allowed to take any medications unless prescribed by doctor ....prenatal shave a lot of iron in them which makes you constipated all you can do is take them every other day or just drink gallons of water each day that's how it help :)!!

I have been putting true lemon packets in my water. No aspartame or artificial sugars or anything like that and I've also been eating lots of protein. That has what's helped me get through the constipation! I hope you find something that works for you!

i might try the lemon water. i have heard that helps! thanks everyone! @taylorraye @ashley_abby20 @harata87

Activia & apple juice, apples, or prunes. they help clean you out but take a stole softener to help the process.

granola bars work wonderfully. I had a hemorrhoid & ever since I changed my diet it's been easier to go #2 :) buy lots of granola bars & drink a lot of water. oh, eat potatoes!! fry up some potatoes in the morning & the oil will help clean you out lol

Fiber gummies worked wonders for me
