I had a really bad problem with constipation right around 10 weeks. Unfortunately it can get really bad (like my case) and u need to eat the right things or it could get severe. Prune juice tastes gross but it helps trust me. Also eat prunes..hot water with lemon helped me. Also try something with molasses in it (its a natural remedy for constipation) eat a lot of fruit in general. Sometimes apples can bind u too so just keep track. Grapes help a lot too.. and most important drink ALOT of water!! Also of it gets real bad..stop taking ur prenatal for a few days and swtich to flinstone ones..then once ur back to health go back to ur prenatals ( mainly bc its the iron that's binding u) hope it helps!! It all worked for me and haven't had constipation since :)
