I'm Currently Feeling:  | Constipated
Hi girls
Just need some advice.
Im currently not eating much or drinking much as i cant stomach it, however i am eating little and often.
But without being crude i don't seem to be able to poo very well and when i do hardly anything comes out. So i guess im constipated 
Its starting to worry me a little now and don't know what to do or take to relieve it.
Any suggestions or any of you suffering/suffered the same????
Thanks |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Itīs very normal, unfortunately. I suffered with my last pregnancy and I know it can be a nightmare!! My midwife just suggested a high fibre diet, if you can keep anything down |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Im not throwing up as yet but i struggle with the thought and smell of feed alot of the time.
I think i might buy some bread thats high in fiber and some bran flakes or something.
Thanks for the advice  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | constipation is pretty normal in pregnancy. Try to increase your water intake and possibly your fiber. I am having the same problem right now as well. Thumbs down to the constipation! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I suffered from constipation for almost 3 months. I think it finally went away after I was well in the second tri.
Fibre rich food, metamucil, coffee sometimes. It is the worst. If all else fails, then you can take milk of magnesia ( a pregnancy safe laxative). |
