Okay girl this sounds kinda weird but if you chug 2 glasses of warm water you will go (as warm as you can chug it don't burn your mouth)! My friend told me this after 5 days of constipation and I did it and not even 20 mins later I went to the bathroom. It was so good! Being constipated *****! So give it a try and good luck! I feel your pain!

Constipation has been an issue with me my whole pregnancy.  I drink plenty of water. I'm 17 weeks some days are better then on others. Prune juice seems to work.

Every pregnancy is different. Constipation is a typical symptom for pregnancy. Make sure you are drinking enough water. Also be sure you are getting enough fiber. Yogurt, apple juice, prunes and prune juice can help you feel better.
