[quote=Anonymous]I feel you soooo much on this. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and here is what I've done. I've never experienced constipation in life until pregnancy and I was nearly in tears every day at your stage. I started taking 2 fiber gummie vitamins every day (you can just find them on Amazon, Target, etc), I eat raisin bran every morning, I drink a ton of water, from about week 10 to week 28 I drank a small can of prune juice every day (disgusting, I know, but legitimately worked). I warmed it up because for whatever reason it tasted better to me that way. I stopped doing the prune juice at 28 weeks, however, to see if my body could be regular with just the raisin bran (it could - yay!). I also drink a lot of smoothies or oatmeal with berries and flaxseed. Tried cutting down on carbs, cheese, and super sugary items. I bought Colace as a backup but haven't used it yet. I also bought the Stork "Laxative" tea on Amazon, it's a pregnancy brand which works well and tastes good. Just some ideas. Oh and walking and exercising in any helps. Walking and Peloton have both helped (walking generally works a little better, I've found). I've done a LOT, but I've been pooping every day since like week 10/11. Ah pregnancy...[/quote]
