Constipation

I'm 36 weeks and have been dealing with constipation for the past week. Yesterday I drank prune juice and it helped but does anyone know if it's ok to drink everyday because it feels like it's back again

Yeah prune juices is ok to consume daily, i take organic since i having problem with constipation but still i found papaya is the effective one, jus take 1-2 slices is enough for me, dont forget to drink plenty of water... Is not only help constipation but others things too

Prunes are simply grapes. If you don't want to drink the juice everyday then grab some yummy red grapes and indulge on those. Even better when they have been frozen for 20 minutes or so. It is sure to get your systen going and actually tastes sooo much better than thqt juicw. Believe me I am in the same boat as you 33+1 and it's no fun:( Good luck

Popcorn is also good for constipation too and not to mention a yummy snack.

Same. My dr told me to do whatever it takes apple juice, fresh fruit, vegetables, tons of water, fibre drinks like metamucil and benefibre. He told me to avoid laxetives tho. Constipation can irritate the uterus but so can laxetives.
