Constipation Remedies Please

Alright, well I have been worrying lately because I have been feeling lumps in my stomach -- turns out that I have been having a little trouble with the plumbing... I don't understand though because I do eat healthy, I eat strawberries, blueberries and granola in my yogurt. I eat garden salads with spinach, then I eat vegetables and drink tons of water every single day but yet I am still having troble with a bowel movement and it's starting to hurt me... Does anyone have any advice? I started today with some metamucil and exercising a little bit more... But I am still in quite a bit of pain.

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..

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.

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
