7 weeks with constipation

Ever since I found out I was pregnant I have been so constipated! Has anyone else had this problem in early pregnancy? Is it normal to be so constipated this early on? I drink tons and tons of water and my husband and I have changed our diets to include note fruits, veggies, and fiber rich foods but nothing has helped. Anyone else had this problem so early?

Thank goodness I'm not the only one! Sometimes in the middle of the night I get the urge to go and I think my body is working so hard to pass my stool that I get really sweaty and shaky and feel like falling over. But then it goes away after I'm able to poop. Thank you!

I almost fainted on the toliet last Friday night! I completely understand. Talk to your doctor about stool softeners. I also bought fiber one snacks and it seems to be helping a bit.

Yes, still having it. Now the few times I actually am able to go in a week, I either have abdominal pain or vaginal pain.
