constipation?

how early did this occur as a pregnancy symptom?

thanks!

Hi Lychee

I think it was in the second tri that it started, can't remember exactly when though.I've been pretty lucky and haven't suffered really at all from it.

thanks for the reply kristy!

Second for me as well.

i'm only eight and a bit weeks and it started about a week ago. Doc said it was probably because of the folate and iron i'm taking.

The constipation started at about 8wks for me. I also think it was b/c of the iron and folate supplements I was taking. Now I just eat apples and licorice (and changed vitamins to Elevit) and everything seems to be in order in the pooping department. O:)

I think for me it was in the First Trimester - can't remember properly!

Hang on, just looked at my antenatal record and yes it was first trimester.

Try to drink lots of water and eat plenty of fibre.

Best wishes - hope you feel better soon.
