Soooo Constipated.... help!

Hi ladies, Any suggestions to help with constipation? Im 7weeks5days. I used to be so regular with movements like 2-3 times a day. Now I'm lucky if I go once in 2-3 days. This is brutal! My metabolism has slowed right down too and even though I'm eating properly (which I already did before I was preggers) I still can't seem to have regular movements. Help!!

High fiber, things like dairy can cause you to get backed up. Grape juice, apples, dark greens,and lots of fluids.

Put a little vinegar and water together in a cup. Trust me.... you'll be more than regular. It safe and natural and it works.

Colace is my lifesaver! I take it before bed every night with my prenatal and it really helps with regularity!
