i may sound like a salesrep for prune juice but its the best thing...
areu taking iron supplements? cuz they also induce constipation..
No I don't take iron supplement and noone should unless they are prescribed as too much iron can also be bad.
I will try prune juice, is cranberry juice allowed in pregnancy.

^ Yup I think you can have cranberry juice. That also helps avoid UTIs, which is important.
Prune juice, lots of fruits and veggies, yogurt, high fiber foods, etc. Hopefully you'll be fine. It is a real issue of if you develop hemorrhoids, which are also common in pregnancy. Just be careful about putting too much pressure.

prune juice is all i will say.
Re: Constipation in Pregnancy
Prune juice and over the counter stool softeners.
Re: Constipation in Pregnancy
Prune juice is wonderful. You can also take corn husk, also known as Psyllium, if the prune juice doesnt do the trick to get things moving along. Husk is natural and full of fiber and very safe to take in pregnancy. Try a product called "Benefiber". It worked wonders for my son.
Re: Constipation in Pregnancy
Ispaghul husk is of great help.
