Oh sweetie I'm 32 weeks and still remember how it felt at the beginning. Some advice I received was eating raisin bran and prunes (prune juice). Make sure to drink plenty of water. You can take Colace and I recommend it as it will soften your stool and it won't hurt when you go. Good luck and feel better!
Yes it's annoying but normal!! My doctor told me I could take colace with senna and then when things get going to start eating fiber rich foods! You'll get through it :) feel better
