Forcing wont make your baby come out..It
will more likely give you bum pimples.Lol
eat a high fiber diet and drink lots of
water and avoid fruits when
constipated..Besides that it sounds pretty
normal what youre experiencing.

i was constipated about 2 weeks ago. (im
17 weeks today!) I hate taking meds and
all up for remedies! My sister
recommended me to eat a bowl of "frosted
mini wheats" every morning or every other
morning. It helped her from being
constipated. And well I eat it just about
every other morning and im not constipated
and havent been since I been eating it!
I would try it, I mean hell its only $3 a
box.

Drink more water and you could buy some
fibre tablets. You need to check, but im
pretty sure they are fine to take during
pregnancy...Its a capsule of natural fibre
called psyllium husks. You take them
30-60 minutes before meals, with 2 glasses
of water. Available in health food
stores.

I am pretty sure you .C.A.N .N.O.T take
fiber pills or powders while pregnant.
Check the labels it will tell you. Check
online pregnancy sites--and last but
definitely not least--check with your .Dr.
Most herbal remedies also, are not
allowed while pregnant.
Just eats high fiber cereals, oats, cream
of wheat. Every day or every other day.
Eats breads hi in wheat and grains.
You'll be fine--

You can take fiber while pregnant. Talk
to your doctor, he may prescribe it for
you.

unfortunately, .Jo... Thats not true.
Fiber supplements are fine to take while
pregnant.. As a matter of fact, doctors
reccomend it after u increase ur fluid and
fruit and veggie intake without it
changing anything.
As for checking the labels, even .Tylenol
says *consult a doctor before use if
pregnant or breastfeeding.* im suprised
fruit loops and tator tots dont have
warnings on the bags. Its just political
mumbo jumbo.
And when it comes to herbal remedies
during pregnancy, there are several to
avoid just for their chemical properties.
Not sure which ones, u can google it.

i don't know about the weight thing. You
should drink a lot of water to keep your
insides flushed out as much as possible.
Going for 10 days is not good and could be
indicative of something else. Fiber is
good, but taking too much fiber can cause
gas and bloating, so don't overdue on the
fiber.
A few other things to mention, you should
walk. That sounds silly when you are
constipated, I know, but walking
(gravity)can help your digestion. Another
thing you can try is to go poop every day
at the same time, whether you have the
urge to go or not. Make it a regularly
scheduled thing to go sit on the toilet
for 5-10 minutes every day at the same
time. This will train your body. It
works, as hokey as it sounds.
Mention this to your doctor at your next
appointment though. That seems an awfully
long time between poos. I'd get awful
cranky if I were you!
Good luck.

Avoid fruits such as bananas and apples
when constipated because they will only
bloat you more and they are more difficult
to digest.

here are some tips for treating constipation
Posted: 03-24-08 14:55pm

Try some of these, it might help you
hopefully:
* Carrot juice and tomato juice are
very good for constipation.
* You can mix 1 teaspoon of olive oil
with lemon juice and water. You should
drink it in the morning before a meal.
* A mixture of thyme and honey is very
good for constipation. A teaspoon of thyme
is enough.
* Apple cider vinegar can be used to
relieve constipation. 2 tablespoons of the
vinegar will be enough. It's important to
drink it on an empty stomach right before
you eat your breakfast.
* Drink plenty of water, at least 5
glasses of water a day.
* Do not eat bananas, they cause
constipation.
* Drink potato juice, just grind it
and drink up the liquid.
* Guava is a very effective remedy for
constipation. You should eat it with its
seeds.
* Squeeze one lime in a glass, add
salt and water and boil it. Let it cool
off a little and then drink it.
* Take 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil
with warm water after a meal.
