like Tash says constipation is really common in early pregnancy. I had it too and all the things that I used to take during IVF (also constipation inducing) were absolute no-nos. You do need to check with your pharmacist about what is safe if you are going to go for and over the counter thing. (And make sure it is the pharmacist and that they look it up - I had to insist this was done at my pharmacy or some of the casual pharmacy assistants would just tell you anything...).

I ended up eating organic prunes. Not too many, but they helped. Also ended up changing my pregnancy vitamins. I was taking Elevit but they changed something or I changed and once I swapped it for something else I was fine again.
