Good Fiber?? Bad bowels...

Before I became pregnant i never had a good bowel system going on. I'd go like everyother day. But now its worse, like every 2-3 days. What are some good fiber filled foods? Can I take benifiber?

I was regular before my pregnancy now I only go once a week.. I was drinking two cups of prune juice and it made me go too bad. So I'm eating the dry prunes day three now and still haven't gone:(  this is nerve recking to me. My doctor told me two- three colace and prunes should get me going...nothing. so I think I'm going back to my prune juice...

I had a horrible time going before I got pregnant and now it's even worse... I take metamucil every day (it is safe while pregnant) and it helps as much as possible even though I'm still super constipated..it might work better for you.
