Hi ladies. I just had my.twins the start of the month. I was able to take docusate sodium 100 mg soft gel ( twice a day due to constipation from all they vitamins and iron I had to take ) worked like a charm. Also keep up with your fiber intake. Prunes are great! You can get them docusate sodium from your Dr or over the counter at the pharmacy. But like everything else,  ask your Dr first.

i'm 38+3 and i was going on 2 days and i started trying to do the right thing and give my daughter her vitamins again which means me taking my prenatal vitamins again. and i started getting backed up. i started drinking more and more water and nothing would help. i stopped taking them again and now i'm fine. i poo regular again. thank god. i was in so much pain it was unbearable.

I'll be 7 weeks on Thursday and I have been very nauseous with poor appetite which I'm sure is normal... it's been 7 yrs since the last time I conceived.  This time it feels very different. I found out very early, I was only 1 day late and bought a pt from the dollar store n it showed positive right away.  I been having this crazy feeling like I may be having twins. It runs in the family and Idk why but just feels more intense this time around. Docs said it was too early for sono so they gave me an appointment for the 16. Ive been constipated for days so when I read these posts it kinda made me wonder even more.

Dried apricots! Works like a charm! Mira lax worked for me as well. It makes your bowels absorb more water so drink a lot of water to help it along. Good luck

I was the same way! My doctor told me go get some Mira lax and it will help you to go and not be constipated as well. That stuff works!
