HELP? Constipation...

Any help would be appreciated. I've been drinking water like crazy. Nothing seems to be helping. I'm half tempted to go get some stool softeners.

Try to eat fruit every day or a smoothie. Itll help things flow but your prenatals could make u constipated :/

Drink lots of water! Eating things like prunes, pears, apples and other things high in fibre... I find drinking coffee even like half a cup can help!

I'll be 25 weeks Saturday. And I feel like I'm straining. Doc told me not to strain, but if I feel the need to go, I'm gonna do everything I can. Nurse said I could take colace. Just drink plenty of water. I feel like I'm drowning in water!
