15wks along need constipation help asap

[candigrl89]

Okay so im 15wks and haven't been able to have a bowel movement on my own in almost 2weeks, i switched from my regular prenatals to the gummy ones to avoid the extra iron,  drink water like a fish,  have been eating fiber cookies and crackers 3x a day, take a stool softener morning and afternoon and been drinking juice daily. I have had two previous pregnancies and this was never an issue.  Its gotten to the point im having to have enemas 2x a week just to get some relief bc im so bloated and in pain i have loss of appetite.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,  i have a 9am appt. Tomorrow with my o.b. where i will be discussing this with her as well.

Try some caffiene free hot coco or a little bit of coffee.  A couple sips will hopefully help!

Activa with fiber cereal works for me

I have ibs the constipation type. And its definitely worse being pregnant. Metimucil helps so much for bloating. And i eat dried fruit daily. Like prunes and dates. I eat about 6 when im really backed up and it works like a charm. Hope this helps and you get some relief
