Take probiotics and make sure you get enough fiber. That'll help keep your from getting constipated.

I definitely will. Any specific brand you recommend for the probiotics?

My MFM Dr wanted me to start iron to since I'm not getting it from my vitamins. I decided to eat chicken livers every few days and get fiber in other areas as well and my iron has been fine.

@gianasmom chicken liver is an acquired taste, but I love them so it was easy for me. Lol. Ive had hard stools this whole pregnancy and I definitely didn't want to make it worse with iron pills. Even if u took iron pills, it wouldn't be a bad thing mixed with your prenatals. I was taking women's one a day prenatals and those had iron in them, but I switched to gummies and unfortunately, they don't have iron.

@soon2bmommyof4, yeah I had the gummies at first but it started making my tongue feel weird so my doctor prescribed one called Prenate mini

@gianasmom oh ok. Yeah I'll go back to the women's one a day after the bottle of gummies is gone bc i plan on breastfeeding.

You can take colace along with your iron pill. Also activia yogurt helps to get things going.

Great because I love yogurt anyway
