Try eating oatmeal and drink lots of fluids, especially water! Don't hold back the feeling, when you gotta go GO! Lol I used to hold it if I wasn't at home on my own toilet but screw that! It just made things worse for me! Now I go, I don't even care to use a public restroom anymore..sorry tmi but hope it helps : )

Squat down if you can for as long as you can this can get things moving with out too much work. When i asked my doctor about tgis he said eat papaya i havent tried this because i always forget but he saidit works.

High fiber intake, high water intake. Stay active, do lots of walking. Take a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help make it easier, you can take it throughout pregnancy if need be. Talk to your doc about maybe getting a prenatal vitamin with a lower iron content.

Honestly, the thing that helps me most is some caffeine. Usually coffee! One cup!
