Constipated

I am 8 weeks along and constipated! I drink plenty of water and eat fiber bars regularly. Any suggestions to help get things moving?

Try the colace which is a stool softener along with miralax which is just a high fiber powder you mix in a drink. Both are safe in pregnancy and work great. Good luck
