Awkward! Pregnancy constipation - any suggestions?

[RandaPanda]

I'll have to try this lemon water! I'm working on snacking on prunes and prune juice today. Glad you found some relief!

If you try the lemon water, I added to boiling water half a lemon, some acacia honey, and a little cinnamon too to aide digestion. I think it would taste better without the cinnamon, and don't even know if it helped, but I'm just happy something worked! It took overnight to work for me though. Hope yours gets better soon too!!

Jellies work wonders for me....wine gums normally. I think it's the sugar overload that moves things along....not the healthiest suggestion but maybe the tastiest!

That sounds a lot more tasty than most of the other options I'd take gummies over prunes any day

Randapanda - I've been enjoying the lemon water today, it tastes nice and helps with the awful taste I get in my mouth throughout the day lol! Hopefully with that and the prunes I've eaten I get some movement by tomorrow.

Lol isn't it great when you finally go. It's like you want to run out and shout it to the world!! LOL

I've only had two small movements Nothing to get too excited over. I may have to go the stool softner route...

Did you try Milk of Magnesia? In the blue bottle? My doctor said that helps and doesn't produce cramping from gas...

Haha, yes...DH got home and I ran over and hugged him and nearly cried from happiness!! He thought I was crazy pregnancy definitely changes things...I never would have openly celebrated a successful poop with my husband before this!

MrsDragonfly, I'm sorry things aren't happening for you yet. I really hope you feel better soon.

RandaPanda, I do have to say that there has been definite "bonding" over the openness I've developed with my husband during pregnancy.

I'll have to look into the milk of magnesia, I haven't tried that one yet either.
