Backed Up!

I'm not showing (I'm 6 weeks), however, I find it extremely uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach. And talk about constipated! I'm scared to push for fear of doing some damage. What do you take our eat to help things flow naturally easy???

Eat fiber rich foods, drink lots of water and if you still can't go colace and Miralax are safe to take! I know exactly how you feel, I was so constipated in my first trimester I thought I was going to explode. It got better once I got into my second trimester, but now for the past week I haven't been able to really go and I'm almost 26 weeks. So back to the stoool softners and Miralax I go!
