Gave in

One thing no one warned me about was how bad the constipation was going to be with 3rd trimester. I finally had to give in and use a suppository laxative 🙃

I'm taking stool softeners once to twice a day just to not be miserable. Trust me I get it

Omg my midwife suggested I rub magnesium lotion on my belly and I’ve been regular ever since!!!

And coconut water is sooo *lubricating* too :)

Yes girl, I struggle with constipation without being pregnant. But being 34 weeks tomorrow... I take a stool softener at night with a sennicot and also a stool softener in the morning. The struggle is real!

I have been drinking apple juice and it has made me go back to my normal stools

@Ale I’ve tried regular black coffee, apple juice, and I’m lactose intolerant so also milk. The suppository didn’t work earlier so now I’m going to try milk of magnesium

@Chloe wow where do you get that?

Literally woke up to pee and I’m constipated af. I already drink pressed juices daily

Psyllium husk and chia seeds

Fiber gummies have done the trick! And lots of water!

Are you taking a pro/prebiotic? It’s essential to staying regular! I’ve been religiously taking it along with prenatal and swear I’d be constipated if I wasn’t taking it.
