Constipation during 1st trimester

[emma2011]

Is it common? I have lots of difficulty clearing my bowels and have resorted to taking dietary laxatives.

Advise please.

hi emma2011, have you talked with your gynae about ur constipation? Usually preggy cannot take laxatives. You can try drink warm lemon water with honey in the morning. then take some walk afterwards. Or trying drink psylium husk with a lot of water.

This for advise. Will try both out. Hope it works,

my gynae recommend prune juice & it works for me.

Do you just drink the prune juice straight? It tastes super super yucks! But I may resort to it. Thanks!

I try to alternate kiwi, prune juice and rolled oats every morning. Works well for me

The prune juice and oats have helped! Thanks all!
