fyi - prenatal vitamins/iron/constipation

Prenatal vitamins with iron cause some discomfort to alot of women (add in PIO and wham! traffic is blocked for miles!)
... a little tid bit I learned from a friend...take your vitamin with Orange Juice.  The OJ helps break it down faster, causing less "discomfort".  
I tell you what...it works!  HALLELUJAH!!!!
Just wanted to let y'all know in case this happens to you....

sweet, now I know what to do,  I thought my constipation is due to rise of progesterone so I eat tons of prunes and they do not help.  I did not have constipation today probably because I stoped the pre-natal lika for a week now.  Either that or I did not O :( knock on wood ... hope that's not the case
