Prunes or prune juice does the trick. Drink lots of water too.

Maybe switch your prenatal. Drink more water, eat more fiber, and if your doctor okays a stool softener. I have this problem but I switched to a prenatal from whole foods and it's getting better.

Do not stop taking your prenatal. Intake mine everyday and I am regular.
Try eating more fiber, increase your water intake, and try prune juice mixed with apple juice. If that doesn't work try colace. Talk to your doctor before you do even though it is an approved medication your doctor may have other ways to relieve constipation.

I was like that last week. Took milk of magnesium. Take it at night and when you wake up in the morning you'll go!

Increase your water intake and add fiber to your diet. I take metamucil and the dr has me take Colace twice a day which is a Stool softner. I went through the same thing and I was sick and in pain and miserable. Additional fiber,water and colace made a HUGE difference.

Lots of water and greens like salad. If that doesn't work talk to your dr. About taking a stool softener or discuss about your prenatal vitamins.
