constipation

Ok so went to my doctor today, and he told me that if my vitamins had iron in them to cut it down. I thought they did, but i was wrong.

I have been getting wicked intestinal cramps and am constipated. Which is not fun.

So my question is should i take a laxative or fiber or a stool softener ?

Lol! That is the same drink I started drinking. They don't have a lot of fiber but make me feel better.

Drink a ton of water more the better. Making a baby takes a lot of water out of you. The more you drink the better you will be able to poop

I had to drink magnesium citrate because nothing else was helping. It had been like 9 days and my OB said to try laxatives first and the mag cit if "I got into trouble" and then keep taking fiber supplements
