My doc told me I could take colace ( spelling ) for constipation or yu could try miralax yu don't taste it & it's not a harsh laxative .. I took 2 capfuls twice a day then once a day once I was regular

Ive had constipation on and off through out my pregnancy, im 28w+4 now and go about twice a week instead of my usual once a day! Ive been trying everything like eating more fibre, more fruit, drinking more water etc.... im trying my hardest not to need to take anything or drink prune juice (the smell of prune juice makes me sick lol) my midwife said as long as im actually going and not in any discomfort ill be fine!

I was constipated most of my pregnancy but towards the end it got worse and I started taking Metamucil, its a powder that you put in your water, it worked :) it didn't give you diarrhea or anything, just a stool softener, I got it at target, store brand for like 6 dollars and its a big jar
