You can safely drink metamucil or milk of magnesia. It doesn't taste great but helps quickly when really needed

That is also true, but I. Not sure if its much I'm on prenatal plus which as extra and its not doing it for me. I think it'd be more of a problem if u took and extra as more of a supplements

Yeah you can't take much while pregnant so they will recommend stool softener pills and enemas which are safe during pregnancy. All the hormones in ur body back u up. At this point I wish I had that problem I'm sick of going. N but all of them are over the counter and can be bought fairly cheap at walamart

Yeab its normal but talk to your dr. I told mine she prescribed me colace. It doesnt make you go it makes it easier it softens things up. Sorry if tmi. And for gas you can take gas-x but ask your dr before taking anything.
