Poor darling... the really good thing is that often constipation can be an unwanted side effect of high progesterone... So here is hoping you have a high prog level from pregnancy!
In the meantime try things like metamucil. These are safe in pregnancy. Good luck!
I got constipated about 5 dpo and i'm now preg, so that it is a good sign. My doc told me not to take a laxative so I don't upset my body, he recommended prunes & prune juice. Licorice is also good. If your not in any pain, I wouldn't worry too much. i'm up to 3 weeks now and not much is happening. But I'm not in any pain so not worried. You could try to add a heap of fibre to your diet and hope it clears you out.
Hi there Kylie. I swear by a handful of dried apricots. They've always done the trick for me, herbal blac licorice is pretty good too. Hope you are unbunged quickly and get that really soon
