I'm on the same note and it seems everything I take just gives me gas.. And the baby obviously doesn't like fruit.. So I'm so confused..
I ate a kiwi every time I was constipated And it helped me pretty good!
I drink a lot of straight cranberry juice and water that helps me a lot
My ob gave me a recipe for an all natural remedy that you take everyday.
1cup of bran
Half cup of apple sauce
Third cup prune juice
Mix together and put in frig
Take 1tablespoon daily
Worked wonders. It also keeps you regular.
I have a list that says its okay too. Try walking to get stuff moving. I read on a diffrent post to try eating black licorice.
Thanks for the advice! And I am 8 weeks along today, and according to the "allowed medications" list they gave me, Metamucil and/or Benefiber is perfectly fine... But seems not to be working for me.
In my last pregnancy my doc recommebded docusate which is a stool softener and it helped big time. I would double check wih your doc or the pharmacisit just to make sure. I havent had problems with this pregnancy and that was 3 yers ago that i took it. It did wonders for me tho.
Apple juice or applesauce, and lemonade helps , prune juice...
How far along are you? I didn't know Metamucil was allowed during pregnancy. I'm having your same problem. All I've been doing is eating prunes and hoping for the best lol
