I figure this is the place where a TMI warning isn't necessary.
So I've very early on in a pregnancy. So far I've had an easy ride with symptoms, with one exception. It's the third time in a couple weeks that I've been constipated.
I'm drinking lots of fluids (cause it's hot) and cutting down on tea/coffee (I'm going to bloody miss caffeine over the next few months), but not been exercising as much as I used to (too hot).
I don't want to use laxatives if I can avoid it, so what other things can I do to make myself go? Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears have almost mythical status in running circles for being notorious poop inducers, but I can't find any in the shops.
Should I be an old lady and go for some prunes?
