I had that same problem tried EVERYTHING over the counter, until the dr told me to try an enema, that was what finally worked, it really sucked cuz it hurt so bad. This was in first trimester btw. So I'm not 100% sure if u can still use those. Good luck mama

A large cup of coffee does it for me but if you're a regular coffee drinker it might not help. Sorry that is the worst but it'll pass.

I had the same problem last week. What worked for me is I drank a ton of water, milk of magnesia, and a big glass of prune juice. Since then, I have been mixing flaxseed in with my morning applesauce and a small amount of prune juice at night. I have also been drinking a lot more water and eating more fruit.  FYI prune juice is awful, but it works quickly!
