Over the counter stool softners and a bunch of water. The stool softners are safe for the baby.
Eat a pickle then drink milk right after it will work trust me
My midwife suggested a daily dose of magnesium pills to compliment my prenatal vitamins, and take them with lots of water. I was never constipated again.
Prunes!! They work. Sorry for the TMI but between last night and now and all the prunes I feel like a new person lol
Milk of Magnesium works great!!! Take that and drink some apple juice and I guarantee you'll go. I just had the same problem and I'm 38 weeks. Its a horrible and very uncomfortable feeling. You'll feel so much better afterwards.
I was hoping someone was going to post about this. I am 21 weeks and I'm badly constipated as well. I have been drinking a lot of water. Eating fruit and veg. I started eating prunes last night. It's painful when I do want to go. I am worried that all the pushing is going to harm the baby :( I have heard a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar will help, anyone know of this is ok?
Fiber bars!! Water, and lots of exercise! This all helped me alot! And raw coconut oil thinly spread on a peanut butter sandwich helped amazingly but if you don't like coconut (i dont) its kind of hard to make yourself dig it. But one a day saved my life
Cantaloupes are really good for constipation too!
1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Prune juice at Room temperature.
