Constipation
I am about 10 weeks pregnant and I am extremely constipated. My doctor told me I could take miralax and stool softeners and it's not working. I'll poop maybe once every few days.

8 weeks and I cannot poop at all š itās just one nightmare after another. All for these little miracles š„²š
Eat fruits and oatmeal. I like to eat apples, or any fruits i can get.. and then drink enough water too! Also, walking around moving your body also helps with digestion. That works out for me.
Prunes!
I take magnesium and that works for me. Thereās a drink mix-in called Calm that my OB suggested but I take the supplement. Stool softeners do not work for me.
Bananas usually help me
Coconut water!! š§
Ive been eating oatmeal with fiber, add a sprinkle of chia seeds, and a few cranberries or prunes. Itās been helping. The other thing that helped was Metamucil.
Amen sister. I take dulcolax and eat prunes every day.
