Fiber

I'm 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and I've been struggling to poop the last few days. Can I take benefiber?

Prune Juice, natural.

I have been told pear juice and all brain cereal. So far so good. I normally suffer from constipation so its very difficult for me to find something that works straight away.
Good luck...I know how annoying it could be lol

I've been pretty constipated myself ever since my job moved to a new location back in OCT and being pregnant is definitely not helping!!  I'm going to try the virgin olive oil!!  Thanks for the tip!! Lol

OMG the olive oil worked within minutes! I took it like a shot with a chaser! It tased terrible but who cares, it worked! Thank you so much for the suggestion

I'm telling you I just went this morning after being constipated for the last 3/days 2 tbsp of virgin olive oil...works super fast..was able to go 5 mins after taking it!! Yes it tastes gross but if you hold ur nose then take a drink ...it works I promise you :) I didn't believe it either.. But now I know!!

No my vitimans don't have probiotics in them but I will go get some today! Also, good call on the fiber one bar. I will be getting those also!  Thank you for the suggestions

Hmmm, yeah you definitely wanna go soon. Pregnancy hormones have a wonderful way of slowing down your digestive system. Are you taking prenatal vitamins that have probiatics in them by chance? I happen to find a prenatal with probiatics & thankfully I haven't had this issue.
I wonder if eating a fiber one bar would help too?

Haven't gone

[Bonnie41915]

I'm drinking a ton of water. I called the dr but since I haven't had my first appt yet ( sept 16th ) they can't tell me if it's ok or not. I have gone in 3 1/2 days and I've had a hemroid before and it was unbearable. I'm afraid of that happening again.

I'd ask your doctor about taking benefiber. Are you drinking enough water?
