For immediate relief, try Fleet Suppostories. They are non-stimulants and work instantly to relieve Constipation. Insert one into your rectum and you will be able to poop within minutes. I use them once a day, and they help prevent Hemrorrids.

Try cutting down on your iron. That helped me so much. Prenatal vitamins usually have like 150% of iron and our body is ony going to use 100% of that so if you take one with a lower dosage or just try getting your iron from food and get a regular vitamin and supplement with folic acid it will be just as healthy for you and the baby and also will help with constipation. My dr suggested I do that and it has helped me tremendously. Also miralax does help and fiber too but only if your drink a ton of water or else it will make it worse

My midwife told me to take merolax may have spelled that wrong but it is a purple and white bottle. She said it is safe to take and won't make it to loose just regulate you enough to be able to go. Good luck sweets feel better.

It's a weird remedy but I go get some really greasy fast food like Long John Silvers or Pizza Hut. I don't eat fast food often so the grease in those two places especially cleans me right out lol.
