Buy some fiber gummies. I had the same problem and had to use suppositories, bought fiber gummies and was able to go without any struggle. You can find the gummies in same aisle as vitamins.

I am almost 6 wks also and have been suffering from this all my life! have made a real effort to have the right breakfast since i showed positive which has been helping immensely. drink lots of water (I add lemon to it) and I have found porridge, blueberries and banana is doing the trick. good luck.

My doctor told me to take colace and miralax also. They're both safe while pregnant.

I have the opposite problem. A stool softener or more fiber should help

Not odd at all. We all have suffered constipation. I eat a lot of fibre. Sometimes a little prune juice helps.
