Constipation?

I'm almost 9 weeks and sorry to share, but I am so backed up. I've increased fluid intake and even took Colace... but no luck so far. Any other tips?

Hey ladies by coincidence my mom bought me a nutribullet for Xmas before we found out about my little surprise.  I have been backed up and started making a strawberry and banana smoothie with a hand full of kale. You really can't taste the kale and I have been regular again. I tried miralax and Metamucil with no results but the kale has really been a savior.

Im in the same boat. It helps if I limit meat and over do green leafy vegetables.
