constipation

This is a bit embarrassing, but is anyone else having a problem with constipation?  Any tips on how to handle it? I'm 9 weeks.

Yes! To the point that I ended up in the emergency room.  I was taking colace and a doctor approved laxative and I still wasn't going. I was already drinking about 2 liters of water a day. I went to the ER and they gave me fluids and magnesium citrate and I was finally able to go

Make sure you are getting enough fiber in your diet and try drinking something warm. A cup of decaf coffee usually works for me.
