Constipation!!!!!

[MumtoA]

heya there,

i was the same in my first tri...and now again in my last...!

my ob told me that i could take Metamucil...i didnt as it never got that bad but apparently it is ok to use...

good luck!

Yep...its happening now for me and it happened in my previous pregnancies. Loads of water, All Bran for breakfast each day, walking and you can either use metamucil or coloxyl. Good luck

The vitamin supplement I was taking was the source of my problem. The iron was making me really constipated. So much that I actually stopped taking the supplements and just took plain old folate. Worked a treat. Plus lots of water anyway helps too.

I have not had such a thing yet.
in fact i'm experiencing the opposite. i am going more regularly, 3 or 4 times a day.

the only difference is the colour of my deposits has changed (sorry if TMI) because of the iron in the vitamin tablets i assume.

thanks everyone for your replys...still plugging away...literally LOL Once this nausea settles, I am sure I will be more motivated to exercise!

Buy an enema kit from a health food store, eat bran for breakfast with fresh LSA on the top and add flaxseed oil to your smoothies and salads

and drink prune juice

the enema is probably not a bad idea..although bran gives me bloating and gas. Are enemas ok during first trimester?
