Ashley- you could try starting with a stool softener and see if that helps. If not, then I would go to miralax/metamucil. I haven't had too much constipation so I haven't tried anything yet.
Also, I have a question for you ladies. Back in October/November, I decided that I wanted to be healthier and start exercising more. I knew that the only way I would be more active was to get a dog (which I have wanted for years), so I convinced DH it was a good idea and we started the process. In January, we adopted a wonderful pug who is always by my side! Well, it has worked wonderfully. Since we adopted the dog, I have lost AT LEAST 20 lbs ( I haven't weighed myself since I went to the OB in February). Anyways, my work pants especially are big on me, like almost falling off big. I have one pair that used to be tight and those are starting to get to the point of almost falling off. I really don't want to go and by new work clothes because scrubs are expensive (I am super picky about fabric too) AND theoretically, I should be gaining some weight as the pregnancy progresses. I guess I could get some safety pins and try those? Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? My mom said she actually lost 60lbs when she was pregnant with my brother and that some women who are overweight actually lose a fair amount of weight during pregnancy...I am eating and staying hydrated so I am not concerned about health, just curios if anyone else has experienced this.
It's all feeling so much more real now. We've got our gender scan a week today and I'm so excited! Feel like I'm a kid counting down to Christmas lol xx
