Tmi sorry
What can I take for constipation? I've seriously gone to the OB twice and you would think I'd remember to ask, or the fact it's my 4th kid that I would remember.
I feel like I've taken colace before, but is fiber supplements ok too? I'm going for blood work Wednesday, so hopefully I remember to ask, but in the meantime I figure you girls might know.
TIA!

Re: Tmi sorry
Thanks for the link! That will come in handy!
Yes thank you! I thought colace was ok, and glad benefiber is too. Water and I don't get along in the first trimester lol, so I think that's having a lot to do with it, I always drink tons of water when I'm not pregnant, and i feel like all I'm doing is drinking my calories all day long now. 2nd trimester can't get here fast enough!

Tmi sorry
Metamucil always works for me and its safe to take. Also try prune juice or avocados.

Re: Tmi sorry
With my first pregnancy, I took a Metamucil pill nightly w my pre-natal and had no issues.....I was terrified that the iron would bind me. By the time my most recent pregnancy came around, I had drastically challenged my diet and increased the fiber enough to skip the additional pill.
Good luck!

Tmi sorry
I had this bad last time. I would hold my nose and down a glass of room temp prune juice right before bed. Every morning I would wake up and go. It really works.

Re: Tmi sorry
Not meds but if you put your feet on a stool or elevated surface while sitting on the toilet it will help you poop. It changes the angle and assists you in getting it out. It helps tremendously for me. Good luck.
