I have days like this, some days its the exact opposite. I'd try to eat a balanced diet and loads of roughage.

I usually down a couple of glasses of orange juice in the morning when I wake up if I feel that it is probably going to be a bad day. It helps speed up the processs.

Ditto

Fruit juice is good for making you go hun

Fruit juice is good, there are also some herbal teas you can try, though I find green tea always helps first thing in the morning (before I've eaten). Some breakfast cereals have higher levels of fibre, like All Bran. I find prunes help too, but I guess you have to like them! Oh, and dried fruits, like dried mango have a lot of fibre.

Try fibre gel can be bought over the counter it just like orange juice but full of fibre to help shift back log it natural and doesnt affect baby. I used it and it cleared me lol xxxx

Fibre granules worked for me and LOTS of grapes.

Jem · Apr 24th, 2008, 08:11 AM

I've had this for about a week at a time on many occasions so far in my pregnancy. I usually eat about 6 or 7 prunes and a day later I'm fine again but if that doesn't work you can try taking a large dose of milk of magnesia. It has instructions for constipation on the back of the bottle and it works withi a day or 2. If that doesn't work maybe your doctor can give you something. I've always been reluctant to strain too hard because I don't want piles!!
