What helps for me is eating oatmeal and drinking a lot of water.

I was on zofran and it didn't let me **** for 3 weeks.  The miracle remedy is Miralax.  Its not harsh and it takes 1-3 days to work.  It will give you soft poo.

I have had to deal with chronic constipation most of my life and gets worse with pregnancy. If you tried all the natural remedies and you are still battling with it my gastrointestinal and OB has assured me that I can take milk of magnesia. Hope this helps.

I suffered from this too until i started eating bananas lol my doc said they are not natural laxative but it works for me. Just drink lots of water and experiment with different foods and see what helps get things flowing!
